“…At the two-year follow-up, significantly more of the experimental group were re-employed, in subsidised work or in vocational training (70.4%) than the control group (64.1%). The experimental group also reported significantly decreased depressive symptoms and increased self-esteem in comparison with the controls (Vuori & Silvonen, 2005).…”

“…The Työhön Job Search Programme is a Finnish version of the JOBS programme (Vuori et al, 2002;Vuori & Silvonen, 2005) which examined the programme in the context of a European labour market for individuals who had been unemployed for a longer period (mean = 10.7 months). At the two-year follow-up, significantly more of the experimental group were re-employed, in subsidised work or in vocational training (70.4%) than the control group (64.1%).…”

“…The Työhön Job Search Program is almost identical to the 20-hr MPRC program but includes some minor adaptations. The Työ-hön program showed beneficial effects similar to those of the U.S. MPRC Job Search Program and demonstrated that the intervention program is also beneficial to longer term unemployed workers (Vuori & Silvonen, 2005;Vuori et al, 2002). A study by Vuori and Vinokur (2005) demonstrated this mediating role of job-search self-efficacy and inoculation against setbacks for mental health and reemployment outcomes.…”

The aim was to examine the effects of group training techniques in job-search training on later reemployment and mental health. The participants were 278 unemployed workers in Finland in 71 job-search training groups. Five group-level dimensions of training were identified. The results of hierarchical linear modeling demonstrated that preparation for setbacks at the group level significantly predicted decreased psychological distress and decreased symptoms of depression at the half-year follow-up. Trainer skills at the group level significantly predicted decreased symptoms of depression and reemployment to stable jobs. Interaction analyses showed that preparation for setbacks at the group level predicted fewer symptoms of psychological distress and depression, and shared perceptions of skilled trainers at the group level predicted fewer symptoms of depression among those who had been at risk for depression.

“…Finnish long-term unemployed individuals, who participated to such a shortterm subsidized job, had a better chance of getting reemployed than those who did not have a subsidized job (Santamäki-Vuori 1996). These interventions were found to be effective in the protection of psychological well-being and were most beneficial for the group of unemployed with the poorest mental health (Machin and Creed 2003;Vuori and Silvonen 2005). The protective mechanism behind these intervention strategies can be understood with reference to the latent deprivation model of Jahoda (1982) as they satisfy both manifest (i.e.…”

Results Covariance analyses adjusted for background variables support findings from earlier studies that long-term unemployment and perceived job insecurity are detrimental: short-term unemployed and secure permanent employees experienced fewer psychological complaints and lower subjective complaints load, reported a higher self-rated health, and were more satisfied with their life compared to long-term unemployed and insecure permanent employees. Second, whereas unemployment was found to be more detrimental than insecure employment in terms of life satisfaction, insecure employment was found to be more detrimental than unemployment in terms of psychological complaints. No differences were found regarding subjective complaints load and self-rated health. Conclusions Our findings suggest that (1) insecure employment relates to more psychological complaints than short-term unemployment and secure permanent employment, (2) insecure employment and long-term unemployment relate to more subjective complaints load and poorer health when compared to secure permanent employment, and (3) insecure employment relates to higher life satisfaction than both short-and long-term unemployment.Keywords Unemployment · Job insecurity · Psychological complaints · Subjective complaints load · Life satisfaction · Self-rated health IntroductionOver the last 20 years, globalization along with the economic recession has put considerable strain on the labour market. Therefore, organizations have been forced to cutback costs, resulting in job loss and increased perceptions of job insecurity among workers (Daly et al. 2013; AbstractPurpose Research has provided convincing evidence for the adverse effects of both short-and long-term unemployment, and perceived job insecurity on individuals' health and well-being. This study aims to go one critical step further by comparing the association between short-and longterm unemployment, and perceived job insecurity with a diverse set of health and well-being indicators. Methods We compare four groups: (1) secure permanent employees (N = 2257), (2) insecure permanent employees (N = 713), (3) short-term unemployed (N = 662), and (4) long-term unemployed (N = 345) using cross-sectional data from the nationally representative Living Conditions Survey in Finland. 2000, 2011). These phenomena, in turn, have raised concerns about their potential impact on employees' health and well-being. Unemployment typically refers to individuals between the age of 16 and 64 who do not have a paid job or are not self-employed during a specific reference period even though they are physically and psychologically available for work and actively seeking employment (International Labour Organization, ILO 2000). There is convincing evidence from diverse fields such as life sciences (e.g. medicine) and social sciences (e.g. psychology) that unemployment has adverse effects that go beyond effects associated with income loss (for a review see Frey 2008; McKee-Ryan et al. 2005). First, unemployment negatively impacts physical h...
