Overcoming involuntary unemployment is a lonely, personal challenge at best. At its extreme, it immobilizes action. Self-esteem plummets. Depression rises. Its economic effects are painful. Unemployment interacts with all levels of family life and planning . It makes economic provision difficult, with significant disrupting of: basic daily necessities,; education; leisure ; and plans for retirement.
Research reflects shows that self-directed strategies focusing on the feelings generated by unemployment are ineffective in handling the downward spirals of economic deprivation. The consistent grit and determination necessary in tackling the ups and downs of economic renewal adds to the difficulty of achieving economic goals. The only effective leverage is a flexibly adaptive strategy of goal-directed action.
