SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF THE UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE
This article provides an overview of the foreign studies on the psychological problems of unemployed people, among which are a sense of losing control over living conditions, loss of plans for the future, reducing the feeling of self-worth and confidence in their people, apathy, related to the sense of loss of hope. A job, apart from the way to get reward, performs such functions as determining the status and identification of people, structures time and expands their social horizons. The results of the author’s empirical studies coincide with the findings of the western experts: unemployed people have reduced internality, self-sufficiency, significance of the values related to the social interests, changes in their attitude to different periods of their life. These trends must be taken into account in organizing social rehabilitation of the unemployed people.
