某些失业群体受到的失业伤害是否比其他人小？本文试图检验一个假设，即失业的非金钱成本在不同失业率的社会之间可能会有所不同。从SALDRU93调查的横截面数据，我表明，家庭对生活满意度的看法是负相关的家庭失业率为南非预期在富裕国家。报告的福祉水平被证明是负相关的其他人的失业在地理集群一级的就业。然而，如果当地劳动力市场的失业率很高，失业对家庭的伤害似乎较小。
Are certain groups of unemployed individuals hurt less by unemployment than others? This paper is an attempt to test the hypothesis that non-pecuniary costs of unemployment may vary between societies with different unemployment rates. Using cross-sectional data from the SALDRU93 survey, I show that households’ perceptions of life satisfaction are inversely related to household unemployment for South Africa as to be expected in richer countries. Reported well-being levels are shown to be associated negatively with others’ unemployment at the geographical cluster level for the employed. However, unemployment appears to hurt less for the household if unemployment rates in the local labour market are high.
