Getting laid off affects not only one’s economic well-being, it also curtails one’s involvement in community and social activities, a new study found. The study, by researchers at the University of California and the University of Michigan, found that workers who had experienced even one involuntary job loss were 35 percent less likely to be involved in their communities than those who had never been out of work because of layoff, restructuring or a business closing or relocating.
The break from community involvement whether it meant dropping out from a book club or no longer participating in the PTA continued for the remainder of the workers’ lives, not just for the period of unemployment, according to the study.
"Social engagement often involves an element of social trust and a sense that things are
reciprocal
that you give some support if you get some support, and you benefit from society if society benefits from you," study lead author Jennie Brand, a UCLA sociologist, said in a university news release, "When workers are displaced, the tendency is to feel as though the social contract has been violated, and we found that they are less likely to reciprocate. "
The findings, which examined the long-term impact of job displacement on social participation, were published in the September issue of the journal Social Forces. The research was based on information from a study that tracked 4,373 Wisconsin high school graduates(class of 1957)for more than 45 years. Displaced workers were most likely to withdraw from participating in youth and community groups, followed by church and church groups, charitable organizations and leisurely activities, such as country club attendance. Professional organizations were the least likely to be affected by a disruption of employment.
The social withdrawal occurred most with those displaced during their peak earning years between 35 and 53 years of age. Employees who lost jobs near the end of their careers were less likely to withdraw than workers who were displaced earlier in their careers.
"Being laid off doesn’t appear to be as socially damaging for older workers as younger ones, " Brand said, "The shame factor of downsizing your lifestyle just isn’t there because your peers may be downsizing as well and you can play off your displacement as an early retirement even though it may be forced retirement. " The findings have considerable influences not just for society, but also for the individual’s attempt to find new work, Brand contended. Brand said charities and community groups might want to work harder at reaching out to displaced workers for the good of the organization and for the worker’s own good.
According to Paragraphs 4 and 5, which of the following statements is true about the study?
选项
A、The study was a long-term observation on 4,373 subjects.
B、The layoff offers people more time participating in such social activities as community groups.
C、A laid-off worker may also lose his membership in a professional organization.
D、Young people are more likely to lose their jobs than people in their senior years.
答案
A
解析
根据第四段和第五段,下列关于这项研究的说法中哪一项正确?[A]这是一项长期观察4,373名实验对象的研究。[B]失业使人们有了更多的时间参与社区小组这样的社会活动。[C]一名失业工人可能也会失去他在专业组织中的会员资格。[D]年轻人比老年人更容易失去工作。[D]是对第五段最后一句的误解,虽然文中提到失业的年轻人要比快要退休的人失去工作更容易脱离社会活动,但并不意味着年轻人比年长的人更容易失业,这是两个概念。从第四段第二句可知[A]符合文意,根据第四段的最后两句话可知[B]和厂C]错误。
