Abstract
There is little doubt that good work is good for you. Being in work meets important psychosocial needs in societies where employment is the norm; it helps build identity, provides structure to the day and companionship and is essential for material well-being and participation in society. Being in work is associated with better mental health and less frequent use of health services. In contrast, unemployment is bad for you. Unemployment, even in countries with a robust welfare system, results in poverty.[1] And poverty means people are unable to make life-style choices which maintain physical and emotional well-being.[2] This means that people with multiple sclerosis (MS) not only experience the consequences of the neurological impairment but are also, as identified by Landfeldt et al.[3] in this issue, at risk of chronic ill health from other conditions such as cerebrovascular disease and diabetes.
