Work, worklessness, and the political economy of health
Bambra, Clare
Work, worklessness, and the political economy of health Bambra, Clare - Oxford Oxford University Press 2011 - xvi, 242 p.
Table of Contents:
1: Introduction
2: Welfare state capitalism and health
3: Health hazards in the physical work environment
4: The psychosocial work environment and risks to health
5: Recession, unemployment, and health
6: Health-related worklessness
7: Work, health and welfare interventions
8: Conclusion
We are told that 'work is good for us' and that ill health is caused by 'individual lifestyles'. Drawing on research from public health, social policy, epidemiology, geography and political science, this evidence-based inter-disciplinary book firmly challenges these contemporary orthodoxies. It systematically demonstrates that work - or lack of it - is central to our health and wellbeing and is the underlying determinant of health inequalities.
