Monday, November 28, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear
John,
Join us on Thursday, December 8, 2022, for a free virtual briefing on the topic, "The Health and Policy Implications of Building Income Supports for Low-Income Families with Young Children." Featured speakers will include authors from our upcoming issue on equitable social supports and more.
Ananat and coauthors find that Black and Hispanic workers are just as likely as White workers to experience material and mental hardship when laid off and to have that hardship relieved if they receive unemployment insurance (UI) benefits.
However, Black and Hispanic workers are less likely to receive UI, but increasing access to the program could help reduce the disparate effects of job loss on non-White workers and related racial health disparities.
Ananat and coauthors recommend several policies to improve unemployment insurance and reduce race and ethnicity gaps, including permanently extending coverage to lower-earning workers and reforming financing.
Read the entire collection of articles exploring the health effects of economic security policies in the November issue of Health Affairs.
