加拿大蒙特利爾的研究者稱，失業會縮短人的壽命，特別是對於男性。
The findings, analyzing 40 years worth of data from millions of people in 15 countries published in the Journal of Social Science &Medicine, strongly suggest men are particularly affected.
這篇刊載于《社會科學及醫學》雜誌上的文章，分析了十五個國家前後四十年統計數據，研究了數千萬人後得出了以上結論。
"We suspect that even today, not having a job is more stressful for men than for women," said Eran Shor, a sociology professor at McGill University in Montreal.
蒙特利爾麥克吉爾大學的社會學教授厄蘭·邵爾說，"即便是當今社會，失業對男性造成的壓力也要大過女人。"
