Physicians from Australia and New Zealand recommend that if one wishes to remain healthy, they should continue to work and be employed. A long break from work due to unemployment or disability was found to have a bad influence on health. Contributing professionally brought a sense of purpose to people’s lives, which is important in promoting physical and mental well-being.
Experts are also of the opinion that unemployment makes people socially isolated, which is not good for emotional well-being.
