Recessions gripping economies around the world will hit men harder than
women as job insecurity threatens an inherent sense of masculinity … A
study by Cambridge University showed that despite more women than men losing
their jobs in Britain due to the credit crunch, men who think they may be
fired or made redundant are likely to become more stressed and depressed
than women. The study cited a Populus poll released earlier this year
which showed that women, more than men, say they are worried about the
possibility of losing their jobs. But the Cambridge study found that while
men may put on a braver face, job insecurity causes more symptoms of anxiety
and depression in men than in women.
