Abstract While Europe is slowly recovering from the economic
recession, its effects on labour markets are still visible.
The number of jobless families has increased and previous
research has shown that unemployment can affect the wellbeing
of both parents and their children. In this study we
explored the links between parental unemployment and youth
life satisfaction by considering the potential moderating roles
played by satisfaction with family life and perceived family
wealth. We used descriptive statistics, correlations, simple
moderation and moderated moderation models of regression
on data from a representative sample of 3937 Portuguese
students (Mage = 13.9 years; SD ± 1.7; 48 % boys). Results
showed that the negative effects of parental unemployment on
youth life satisfaction were moderated by youth perceived
satisfaction with family life but not by perceived wealth. This
suggested that during family unemployment, young people
satisfied with their family life are less vulnerable to the
negative effects of parental unemployment on their life satisfaction.
The relationship between parental unemployment
and youth well-being requires further research, especially
during periods of labour market crisis.
