lated to age. Older welters
suffer from low levels of
formal education and skills
while young workers lack
experience. Some age dis-
crimination may be a contrkb-
uting factor to job insecurity.
Women are especially
vulnerable to layoffs because
they are often new entrants
to the-Tibour marke.t and
because of the types of jobs
they hold. Women have been
employed traditionally in low
level and low skill jobs and in
jobs which are tempolury,
part-time, or casual. Such
wotkers are easily replaced
when business improves and
often do not have the protec-
tion of seniority and otIkr
union:negotiated layoff pro-
visions.
Many laid -off workers
suffer considerable emo-
tional and economic stress, as
a result of job lbss. The most
direct and easily measured
impact is, of course, income
loss. Lack of fringe benefits
and savings is less easy to
measure but important. Loss
of pension benefits is par-
ticularly difficult for older
workers nearing retiternent-1

Inevitably, of course, un-
skilled and semi -skilled
workers tend to„ have more
priklems in finding new jobs
than skilled workers. MAW -
studies have reported that a
significant number of laid off
workers are forced to accept
less desirable jobs which pay
fess and are part-time or
temporary. One report est-
imated that about two out 'Of
every five re-employed
workers are downgraded in
skill level in their new jobs.
Based upon information in
several studies, job loss in
itself does not appear to' be
crucial, rather it is the extent
and duretion of loss of in-

Of course, the impact of
job loss is not merely eco-
nomic. People's work has the

society, 'Therefore, the loss
. of a job is frequently -indeed
almest invariably -damaging
in several ways.
A number of studies have
found that workers who lose
their jobs through no fault of
their own experience feelings
of bitterness and rage. Turn-
ed inward, their feelings of
bitterness, anger -and power-
lessness may result in de-
pression, which is „further
increased by self-doubt and
blame which develop when
job hunting is not successful.
Payhosunatk illresses and
stress-related symptoms are
not uncommon.
Often, laid off workers feel
alienated and detached from
the world, which they come
to regard as an uncontroll-
able and unfriendly place.
The JOSS of social contact
through the work settingIe
further ageravated by the
tendency of unemployed per-
sons . to withdraw from
friends, relatives and
community life. Within the
family; considerable stress is
, created due to the unemploy- •

loss of status as well as
authority. Shifts in roles

with changes in the unem-

can provoke considerable
stress and in extreme case
