| description | Using a nationally representative longitudinal dataset of the British people, this paper explores how different
areas of a person’s life evolved before and after unemployment. There is evidence that unemployment
is preceded, on average, by a year of dissatisfaction with one’s finance and job, for both genders. Having
entered unemployment, men and women reported a significant and persistent drop in satisfaction with
finance and social life, which perhaps explains why there is little overall hedonic adaptation to unemployment.
This paper proposes a two-layer model to study leads and lags in life satisfaction to changes in
employment status. |
