“…Studies reported reciprocal effects between substance use and unemployment/school disengagement. Indeed, unemployed youth are more likely to use substance, and substance use increases the likelihood of being unemployed [6,8]. School disengagement and academic failure may also be both causes and consequences of substance use [9,10].…”

“…Indeed, youth with prior mental health issues are likely to be disengaged from education and employment [5,6]. On the contrary, being disengaged may lead to feeling of hopelessness and mental health issues [3,6,7]. Indeed, being an NEET may have a demoralizing effect for individuals [2].…”

A B S T R A C TPurpose: Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) youth are youth disengaged from major social institutions and constitute a worrying concern. However, little is known about this subgroup of vulnerable youth. This study aimed to examine if NEET youth differ from other contemporaries in terms of personality, mental health, and substance use and to provide longitudinal examination of NEET status, testing its stability and prospective pathways with mental health and substance use. Methods: As part of the Cohort Study on Substance Use Risk Factors, 4,758 young Swiss men in their early 20s answered questions concerning their current professional and educational status, personality, substance use, and symptomatology related to mental health. Descriptive statistics, generalized linear models for cross-sectional comparisons, and cross-lagged panel models for longitudinal associations were computed. Results: NEET youth were 6.1% at baseline and 7.4% at follow-up with 1.4% being NEET at both time points. Comparisons between NEET and non-NEET youth showed significant differences in sub-stance use and depressive symptoms only. Longitudinal associations showed that previous mental health, cannabis use, and daily smoking increased the likelihood of being NEET. Reverse causal paths were nonsignificant. Conclusions: NEET status seemed to be unlikely and transient among young Swiss men, associated with differences in mental health and substance use but not in personality. Causal paths presented NEET status as a consequence of mental health and substance use rather than a cause. Additionally, this study confirmed that cannabis use and daily smoking are public health problems. Prevention programs need to focus on these vulnerable youth to avoid them being disengaged.

“…So ist vielfach dokumentiert, dass insbesondere psychische Erkrankungen, wie z. B. Depressionen und Angststörungen, bei Arbeitslosen vermehrt auftreten [1,7,17]. Die "Selektionsthese" geht davon aus, dass Erwerbstätige mit chronischen Gesundheitsproblemen ein höheres Arbeitslosigkeitsrisiko sowie schlechtere Chancen auf eine Wiederbeschäftigung haben [5,[18][19][20].…”

Background: While unemployment has been associated with poor health, few recent studies in the United States have comprehensively assessed associations between employment status (including duration unemployed) and healthcare access, healthrelated behaviors, and specific health outcomes. Methods:We assessed health-related metrics by employment status in 2018-2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System respondents ages 25-54. We calculated the unadjusted prevalence and adjusted prevalence ratios to compare employed workers to respondents who were self-employed, short-term (<12 months) unemployed, long-term unemployed, and unable to work.Results: Adverse health outcomes increased with unemployment duration and were highest for those unable to work. Non-Hispanic Blacks were most likely to be unemployed or unable to work. Short-term unemployment and self-employment were associated with poor healthcare access. Health behaviors and outcomes declined with increasing duration of unemployment and were worst for those unable to work.Conclusions: In the United States, access to affordable healthcare is problematic for both the self-employed and the short-term unemployed. Short-term unemployment is a particularly important locus for intervention and provision of resources to prevent health declines that may hinder re-employment.
