People pay mental health price for crisis
Thursday 03 September 2009
by Our Foreign Desk
People in the US left unemployed by the financial crisis are struggling to cope with the mental stress caused by being jobless in a stagnant economy, US researchers have said.
Researchers at the John J Heldrich Centre for Workforce Development at Rutgers University said that the financial strain that comes with being out of work combined with the task of seeking a new job in a hostile environment had left many US citizens “traumatised.”
Cliff Zukin, a Rutgers professor and co-author of the study, said: “Psychologically, it’s a world of hurt out there for the jobless.”
Mr Zukin said that “significant numbers” of respondents had had trouble sleeping since losing their jobs, had strained relations with family members and increased alcohol and drug dependency.

Mexico: Poverty skyrockets
World Bank data indicate that 4.2 million Mexicans have fallen into poverty so far this year. Latin America and Caribbean totals for the newly poor are 8.3 million people, 3.6 million of them living in extreme poverty. Mexico’s poor now number 54.8 million, 51 percent of the population.
Increased dependence on imported grains and meat contributed to the trend, reported La Jornada, especially as food costs rise worldwide.
Noting rising car sales and employment, the Wall Street Journal took heart from a second-quarter GDP contraction of only 4.4 percent rather than the first quarter 5.8 percent drop. “These numbers are much better than expected,” it claimed, citing Moody’s Economy.com: “Mexico will possibly be leaving recession by the end of the third quarter.”

India: Communist Party responds to food emergency
Drought-caused food shortages presently threaten 700 million people. Food prices are up 10 percent. According to the BBC, Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar described the situation as “grim” for “providing drinking water, livelihood and food, particularly for the small and marginal farmers and landless laborers.”
On Aug. 26 the Communist Party of India (Marxist) held a “National Convention on the Right to Food and Against Price Rise.” General Secretary Prakash Karat called for a “people’s movement,” national food self-sufficiency, and blanket application of the Public Distribution System rather than targeted allocations. He dismissed proposed Congress Party food security legislation as “retrograde.” Quoted by The Hindu, he declared, “Every citizen should have the right to food.”
