Abstract

There has been much commentary on the likely consequences of the current recession for the living standards of British households. This article aims to contribute to the live debate about the current recession in the UK by analysing the impact of the recessions of the early 1980s and 1990s on nonemploymentpatterns among people in the main range of working ages - and the possible consequences if the effectsobserved in earlier business cycles were to be repeated now. The article uses a series of General Household Surveys over a 32 year period to show, first, the impact of cyclical factors on overall patterns of non-employment (including mothers and disabled people, as well as the unemployed), and second, whichsocial groups are most affected. A key question is whether types of people who are already disadvantaged are especially sensitive to a downturn.
