| Abstract: | The impact of unemployment was investigated in a study in South-Australia. The sample included two groups with age ranges from 15 to 24 years, and from 30 to 49 years. Both groups completed scales concerned with job-seeking activity, employment commitment, self-esteem, psychological distress, use of time, and financial strain. The results indicated more psychological distress, higher self-esteem, and greater employment commitment in the older group. Correlations involving data for all subjects showed increasing negative consequences accompanying the length of unemployment. In both groups employment commitment and financial strain acted as moderating influences on psychological distress. More research is suggested. |
