This book is largely based on the contribution to the 3rd International
Conference of the Scientific Committee Unemployment & Health of
International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH) in Bremen, 2006.
Its papers address the links between unemployment, precariousness in the
labour market and health risks from various scientific frames of
reference as well as those of policy makers. The 42 articles by authors
from 13 countries and several international organizations include major
classics in the field as well as new research that has until now been
internationally largely unknown.
