JOB INSECURITY, MENTAL AND GENERAL HEALTH OVER TIME: A LONGITUDINAL UPDATE OF A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.

OBJECTIVE: To test the relationship between different conceptualizations of job insecurity and health over time by applying a longitudinal design.

METHODS: 543 workers were re-interviewed after one year to check if being exposed to job insecurity affected their general and mental health. Robust Poisson regressions were fitted to calculate the incidence rate ratio between job insecurities and two health outcomes.

RESULTS: Cognitive job loss insecurity increases the risk of poor mental and general health. Other expressions of job insecurity such as labor market insecurity and working conditions insecurity, as well as affective job insecurity, are not significantly related to health across time.

CONCLUSIONS: Caution is needed when interpreting cross-sectional results. Protection against the threat of losing a job would prevent mental health issues and poor general health.
