| Περίληψη: | In this dissertation, we attempt to identify the effect of the transitions in employment status on health in Greece during the period 2005-2019, emphasizing on the effects of the current economic crisis. Using micro-data from the Greek Survey on Statistics of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), conducted by the Hellenic Statistical Authority (EL.STAT.), we will give special emphasis on people’s health probability to deteriorate either taking into consideration people who may suffer from a chronic illness or not. The available data show that people who are continuously employed have a better health status and that unemployment and not participating in labor force leads to health deterioration. However, when chronic illnesses are taken into consideration, people who are not participating in labor force for two consequtive years are less likely to have their health deteriorated. During the years of the crisis, the unemployed people who had found a job the next year, were the ones with the higher levels of health status.
