Greeting—
Given your interest in the health and wellbeing of workers, I wanted to highlight research from a WorkRise grantee exploring the connection between underemployment and health outcomes. The research shows that involuntary underemployment is linked to poorer health, heightened stress, and financial insecurity.
Findings from the brief<https://click.news.urban.org/?qs=8bc24faaadb7b5c937de51156d2228cade16481f47e5b759b4cff0c7ca979f505d36c291afe77805b1faf2319dac611f1c4d51136d3c9064>, which offers an overview of the literature exploring the connection between underemployment and health outcomes, include:
* Working part time involuntarily as opposed to voluntarily is associated with reduced self-reported general health and antecedents to it, such as greater work stress, work-life imbalance, and financial insecurity.
* Various aspects of mental and physical health and well-being are affected when workers’ actual hours fall short of their desired hours. Psychological distress, depression, and anxiety can increase; however, psychological distress appears to be reversible when a person moves out of underemployment and into full-time or voluntary part-time work.
* Underemployment is disproportionately concentrated among workers who are paid hourly, have precarious work schedules or relatively low family incomes, are members of vulnerable demographic groups, and are employed in certain industries such as leisure and health services.
The level, intensity, and adverse health effects of being underemployed could be moderated by public policies, such as scheduling laws, paid sick leave proposals, unemployment insurance system reforms, and part-time worker bill of rights proposals.
