 A U.S. study, published in the journal "American Journal of Public Health" recognizes that the mental health of unemployed men tend to be worse than women in the same situation. The authors reviewed research through standardized questionnaires, the emotional state of 2422 employed men, 1,459 women employed, 371 unemployed men and 267 women out of work. Thus it was found that unemployment has a greater impact on the mental health of men than of women, especially among married people.
Other factors that affect the emotional state would be if it has received compensation and whether family responsibilities. For married men, unemployment is a blow harder than for single men, while among women, having children helps to better accept the loss of work.
