Worklessness: can physiotherapists do more?

摘要

Worklessness may be an unfamiliar word. It has been defined asinvoluntary exclusion from the labour market,1[3_TD$DIF] so it is notnecessarily the same as unemployment, although both involvebeing without work. A helpful way of thinking about thedistinction is with an example from another context: housing.Unemployment would be like seeking a new place to live but withthe resources to do so, while worklessness would be the equivalentof homelessness: nowhere to live, resourceless and excluded.
