Unemployment Normalization: Its Effect on Mental Health During Various Stages of Unemployment

Abstract: The negative effects of job loss on mental health have been thoroughly described in the literature.

Therefore, based on these concepts, the hypothesis is established that the duration of unemployment acts as a moderator in the relationship between unemployment and psychological well-being (H3).…”
