PDFUnemployment and the wellbeing of children aged 5 to10 years

29 October 2010The effects of unemployment are particularly likely to affect children, because of both the negative financial impact and the impact on parental mental health and parenting. This study examines the potential impact of an increase in the unemployment rate on children’s behavioural and emotional problems.

Research has long shown that unemployment can negatively impact on individuals in a range of ways. Not only are there financial implications, unemployment can also effect people physically and emotionally.

This study focuses on New South Wales children aged 5 to 10 years and also examines the extent to which the negative impacts are concentrated in particular geographic areas.
