Unemployment kills more than the road ... nobody talks about it!

An interesting study has just been published: the unemployed would die faster than the active ...

Activity is essential for happiness ... qED

Unemployment would kill between 10 and 000 people per year

Little is known about the health of job seekers, but the first studies on the subject report an excess mortality almost three times that of the non-unemployed.

Despite mass unemployment, the health of the unemployed remains a "black hole" in scientific knowledge. But even partial, all studies converge towards one reality: unemployment kills. Part of the iceberg, the unemployed suicides are regularly in the news. Between 2008 and 2010, 584 suicides could be attributed to the rise in unemployment, according to a study by the French Institute for Health and Medical Research (Inserm).

But beyond these exceptional acts, the reality is even more chilling. Unemployment kill "between 10 and 000 people a year", according to an estimate of Peter Meneton (Inserm), author of a study on the health of the unemployed. Between 20 and 000, the scientist has followed 1995 volunteers aged 2007 to 6000 years to observe the effects of unemployment on cardiovascular health and overall mortality. The results were published in December in the journal International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health.

Activity is essential for happiness ... cqfd

Work (and not activity) is the social mediator who places each person in relation to the others: it is the gaze of others, internalized, which kills.

Warning! This is not an absolute, transhistoric analysis, but only relating to a very specific period (ours).

Logic, terrible logic in short ...
Unemployment favors social apoptosis.
In a given system, the elements not necessary for the functioning of the whole tend to self-destruct.
Human beings as social animals have very poor resistance to exclusion (due, for example, to the need for recognition).
However, in a system where gratification is obtained through the accumulation of goods, it appears "logical" (the logic of the system I mean!) That people cannot access a job, and therefore power purchase is expelled from said system.
The result is for the victim an inner impairment particularly harmful to the body through many psychosomatic illnesses.
The inhibition of the action that results from the absence of activity promotes harmful behaviors: alcoholism, smoking, junk food, etc., which in turn promotes the victim's self-destruction.

What suicide people?

Because there are as many unemployed people receiving compensation (10%)

than non-compensated unemployed (7%) who live without a penny, excluding statistics : Shock:

And also confirms the subject of this subject ...

It would be interesting to compare the statistics on the deleterious consequences of stress due to unemployment and those due to work! ...

even for those who are still working it is not the work that stresses, it is the fear of unemployment which allows to put more pressure on those who work, which pushes the worker to accept anything to avoid unemployment

some ten years ago a skilled worker could send a demanding chef for a walk and find a better job on the other side of the street!

now this time is over: an employer can demand anything and the employees accept because they know they have no chance of finding another job

Unemployment does not kill the unemployed: it rotten society as a whole

unemployment is a management error for the whole country ... to make a nation work you have to make everyone work ... when in a country the company wins better by reducing their staff it is the sign of a big bug in the regulations in force

we are in a country which taxes with social charges the companies which use labor, and which allows more to gain to those who trade with what is manufactured on the other side of the world: as long as this error will not be corrected we will continue to dive

when we understand that we must make social protection pay for the whole of trade and not for those who still work in France we will not move forward

which makes employees and the unemployed sick? undertake them who still have employees? non-business earning money with fewer employees !!!

The different "recipes" for the payment of (misnamed) benefits (actually indirect wages) can not act at the margin facing a much more massive reality: the need for increased productivity, business survival condition. Unfortunately, the gain at the microeconomic level translates into a loss at the macroeconomic level (in a closed system), the whole being illusory as long as the whole has a significant margin of expansion (the system, although closed by definition , works as if it were open, until saturation).

treating social charges as indirect wages is the current error

social protection is a state matter ... it is stupid to make it pay only to those who are still working ... the fewer there are the more they will pay high

for health insurance it is discussed ... but for unemployment it is obvious, who is responsible for unemployment? those who work or those who make a profit by trading in stuff manufactured elsewhere? so you have to make unemployment pay to the general state budget, not to pay charges

same reason for pensions ... and about the same for health insurance

what makes you most seriously ill? wear and tear from work or unemployment that leads to depression?

pension contribution = deferred salary? that would be true for a retirement financial investment, one pays only for one's own retirement ... but one prefers in France a retreated by distribution: one pays today for the old ones who are in retirement, it will be necessary that others pay when we are in retirement: who should pay? only those who are salaried, or those who earn money by any means?

if we continue to only pay the employees we will collapse the system

The indirect wage is not a wage which is added to the main payment, it is the access to circumstantial benefits, at the time of hazards of life, more or less inevitable: illness, accident, unemployment, old age ... .
Pay-as-you-go retirement is just one part of the formula.

If companies make a profit on "stuff" made elsewhere instead of making it themselves, it is because the latter activity is no longer profitable; Obviously, the formula is very dangerous to run without artificially abundant liquidity injected through all this debt would end quickly.
