Summary: 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. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/work-worklessness-and-the-political-economy-of-health-9780199588299?q=9780199588299&lang=en&cc=in#
