“…The relationship between unemployment and poor health has been well documented [2][3][4][5][6]. The unemployed tend to have higher levels of impaired mental health including depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as higher levels of mental health hospital admissions, chronic disease (cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and musculoskeletal disorders), and premature mortality [2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Some longitudinal studies have shown that higher levels of depression and unemployment are not just correlated, but that higher levels of depression are a result of unemployment [11,13,14].…”

“…Previous research has established employment status (employed or unemployed) as a determinant of health [2][3][4][5][6]. However, few studies have segmented the "unemployed" as (1) those who did not have work and were seeking employment-unemployed, and (2) those who did not have work and were not seeking employment-OLF.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of employment status and unemployment duration on perceived health, access to health care, and health risk behaviors. Data from Nevada's 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed. We compared participants who were unemployed (greater than and less than one year) to those who were employed and those who were voluntarily out of the labor force (OLF). Unemployed participants had significantly worse perceived mental health profiles, were more likely to delay health care services due to cost, and were less likely to have access to health care than employed participants and OLF participants. OLF participants were not significantly different from employed participants.

“…Within this study we utilise suicide rates as these reflect a holistic measure of well-being, or more precisely a lack of it, regardless of source and nature of this unhappiness. Within the mainstream literature concerning well-being, suicide rates are an acknowledged and recognised measure of societal well-being (Oswald, 1997;Wilson and Walker, 1993;Fordyce, 1988;Charlton et al 1992). …”

Entrepreneurship & Regional Development

Interest in the proposed connection between culture and entrepreneurship has grown significantly in recent years. However, less attention has been given to the nature of the overall impact of this proposed association on development outcomes, particularly at a local level. In response, this paper analyses the relationship between the nature of the culture, entrepreneurship and development experienced across localities, proposing that the link between culture and development is mediated by entrepreneurship. It focuses upon the concept of community culture, as well as embracing a notion of development incorporating both economic and social well-being outcomes. Drawing upon a multivariate spatial analysis of data from localities in Great Britain, the findings indicate that differences in rates of entrepreneurship are strongly influenced by the community culture present in these localities. Furthermore, a bidirectional relationship is found to exist between entrepreneurship and economic and social development outcomes. It is concluded that the embeddedness of local community culture presents a significant challenge for those places seeking to promote entrepreneurially-driven development.

Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Bu çalışmada sosyal sınıf ve sağlık güvencesinin Manisa'daki ayakta ve yatarak tanı ve tedavi hizmeti kullanımı üzerine etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Manisa kent merkezi nüfusunu (n=232.760) temsil eden 11.284 hane halkı bireyine sağlık evi nüfuslarına orantılı küme örnek seçimi yöntemi ile ulaşılmıştır. Veriler, anket yapılan kişilere anketörler tarafın-dan yüz yüze görüşme tekniği uygulanarak toplanmıştır. Farklı sosyal sınıfların ve sağlık güvencesi varlığının sağlık sorunu yaşama, ayakta ve yatarak tanı ve tedavi hizmetlerine ulaşma açısından kaba riskleri hesaplanmıştır. Çok değişkenli riskler yaş, cinsiyet ve kronik hastalık varlığına göre dü-zeltilmiştir. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : İşsizlerle karşılaştırıldığında son on beş günde üst sosyal sınıfta 1.79 (1.17-2.75), orta sosyal sınıfta 1.51 (1.10-2.06) ve alt sosyal sınıfta 1.44 (1.04-2.00) kat daha fazla sağlık sorunu yaşandığı tespit edilmiştir. Yine işsizlerle karşılaştırıldığında son on beş günde üst sosyal sı-nıfta 1.73 (1.08-1.46), orta sosyal sınıfta 1.46 (1.03-2.06), alt sosyal sınıfta 1.53 (1.07-2.20) kat daha fazla ayakta tanı ve tedavi hizmeti kullanımı olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Farklı sosyal sınıfların yaş, cinsiyet ve kronik hastalığa göre düzeltilmiş yatarak tanı ve tedavi görme riskleri benzerdir. Bununla birlikte sağlık güvencesi olanlarda, olmayanlara göre son on beş günde sağlık sorunu yaşadığını belirtme oranının 1.58 (1.17-2.13); son on beş günde ayakta tanı ve tedavi hizmeti alma oranının 2.57 (1.75-3.78) ve son bir yılda yatarak tanı ve tedavi görme oranının 3.37 (2.11-5.40) kat daha fazla olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. S So on nu uç ç: : Sağlık hizmetine ulaşmada işsizler ve sağlık güvencesi bulunmayanlar aleyhine eşitsizlikler olduğu görülmektedir.A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Sosyal sınıf; sosyal güvenlik; sağlık hizmetleri A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : In the following study, effect of social class and social security on reaching diagnostic and therapeutic health care services in Manisa is evaluated in both out-patient and in-patient basis.

The data was collected by pollsters using face to face technique. Crude risks were calculated in different social classes and in those with or without social security for history of health problems and access to diagnostic and therapeutic health care services on outpatient and the inpatient basis. Multivariable risks were revised in accordance with age, sex and chronic health problems. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : In comparison to unemployed population, the health problems in last 15 days was 1.79 (1.17-2.75) times more common in upper social class and similar figures w...
