Abstract

This study uses longitudinal panel data from Switzerland and the United Kingdom to examine how parental unemployment at year T affects children's wellbeing at year T+2 through parental wellbeing at year T+1. We also test the moderating effects of unemployment benefits, wealth, and household composition on parental wellbeing.
