Unemployment Discussion Groups: Invitation to Participate

This UCD research study, in which you are invited to participate in, is focused on examining the well-being of the unemployed in Irish society.

The study has an over-arching aim of capturing what it is like to be unemployed in Ireland at the beginning of 2010 – of putting a human face on the recession. In listening to your thoughts, perspectives and lived-experiences of joblessness, a snapshot of how a period of being out-of-work can affect your well-being will be acquired. In painting a picture of unemployment, your participation in this research will, it is hoped, shed light on how material, emotional, psychological and physical well-being is being affected during this period of your life.

Participation in this research takes the form of a group discussion (focus group). A focus group should be viewed as a form of guided conversation, where, you, the participant, facilitated by a researcher, have the opportunity to discuss issues which are important and meaningful to you at this time.

If you would like to take part in a forthcoming discussion, or you would like further information, please feel free to get in touch…
