Resumo(s)
Background: Due to the economic recession, several people in Europe became unemployed. This situation may risk
their mental health.
Aim: This study explored parents’ perceptions about their unemployment’s effects in daily life during the recession.
Methods: A total of 59 unemployed parents (40.7% fathers and 59.3% mothers), ageing 44.4 years (±6.2), answer a
question on how the unemployment affected their family lives. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data.
Results: The findings suggest that unemployment is a source of adult and youth mental distress and of economic
hardship and changes in family relations.
Conclusion: Support to unemployed individuals and their families could benefit from these insights when granting the
needed financial and socioemotional assistance.
