Adolescents who have poor relationships with their fathers are more likely to fare worse psychologically if they become unemployed as adults says new research from the Centre for Economic Performance, at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). ... ''We know that unemployment is a massively distressing event that many people do not completely recover from psychologically even after their income has returned to pre-unemployment levels. What we know a lot less about is why some people are more or less affected by unemployment than others,'' Professor Nick Powdthavee, author of the research, said.
