Document Summary
Lecture 5: social determinants of health: work, school, and family. Canadians are now facing the reality of jobs and intimate relationships that no longer last a lifetime. Looking at how stressors connected with work affects health. People are embedded in a network of relationships: that network brings enough stressors to the individual. What is important is how people navigate transitions. Work is very important and crucial to our health development. Work evolved from general everything done by one person or a few persons to mass production via technology (workers became mindless counterparts) Higher degree of automation took ownership sentiments away from the workers: wages went down at the same time; women adopted at second shift. Employed vs. unemployed deaths are higher among the unemployed. Children born to couples where fathers had lost jobs reported less weight compared to couples with continuously employed fathers.
