- W2042192283 abstract "BackgroundThe recent Great Recession, a global economic decline that started in 2007, is often presumed to have been bad for health. However, econometric studies using panel data and fixed effects suggest that, historically, recessions might be good for health. This study aimed to estimate the effect of the recessionary rise in unemployment on mortality rates, self-reported health, and health inequalities in the USA and Europe.MethodsArea-level age-standardised mortality rates, percentage self-reporting poor health, and percentage unemployed were retrieved for 3087 US counties and 30 European countries from routine national databases. To compare the years before and during the recession, US data were included from 2002 to the latest available (2009). Because of the small European sample size, all available years were included to increase power (for self-reported health 2004–10, for mortality rates 1994–2010). Area-level mortality rates and the percentage self-reporting poor health were regressed on unemployment rates as panel data with area and time fixed effects. Regressions for US counties and European countries and ethnic, income, sex, and age subgroups were all run separately. Ethics approval was received from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (application number 011/206).FindingsA 1 percentage-point increase in unemployment reduced US mortality rates by 2·97 per 100 000 (95% CI 1·56–4·39, p<0·0001). There was evidence at the 10% level that this finding was replicated in Europe (reduction in mortality by 2·75 per 100 000, 6·03 to −0·52, p=0·096). There was no significant change in health inequality between black and white US citizens. An increase in unemployment by 1 percentage-point also reduced people self-reporting poor health in the USA by 0·099 percentage-points (0·201 to −0·004, p=0·061), but in Europe this was not significant. In Europe, a 1 percentage-point increase in unemployment closed the gap between the numbers of rich and poor people reporting poor health by 0·651 percentage-points (0·781 to 0·521, p<0·0001).InterpretationThe original contribution of this study was the finding of a beneficial effect of the Great Recession on mortality rates, self-assessed health, and health inequalities. Health benefits could be due to fewer working hours than before the recession, safer workplaces, better health behaviours, and lower pollution and traffic. Low-income groups might gain more because of a greater reduction in dangerous employment, pollution, and traffic.FundingNone." @default.
