Almost a century of research on the effects of unemployment on people’s health has clearly established that unemployment is associated with poorer mental health and wellbeing. This article describes the findings of a study on the impact of involuntary unemployment on the everyday life of people living in Bradford during the 2009-2010 recession. The study consisted of 16 focus groups involving 33 men and 40 women of mixed ethnic backgrounds. It utilised a theoretical framework that interprets jobs losses as status passages (i.e. an individual’s movement into a different part of the social ladder). The findings showed that unemployment can change people’s personal and social identities. Three main experiences that contributed to make involuntary unemployment an undesired and downward passage were identified: reduced agency; disruption of role-based identities; and experiences of ‘spoiled identities’ such as ‘unemployment stigma’, ‘welfare stigma’, and ‘mental health stigma’. The findings demonstrate the need to be aware of the effects of stigma, not only of unemployment but also of the depression associated with it.

A briefing paper outlining the steps that the Government needs to take to support of children and their families during the Covid-19 crisis. It argues the UK's social safety net needs to be strengthened and that children and families need access to essentials like outdoor space and digital access. Specific policy recommendations include: the right to paid parental leave for those who need to look after children under the government's coronavirus job retention scheme; increasing the child element of universal credit; an emergency one-off payment through child benefit to help families with additional costs; preventing educational disadvantage through the provision of broadband to children living in households without it; encouraging owners of private green spaces to offer open access to children and families in homes without a garden.
