Abstract
Social Determinants of Health. To (1) explore equity implications of the joint state-federal Unemployment Insurance (UI) program; (2) examine how UI benefits differ by race, age, and gender; (3) document which workers are currently left out of the UI program; (4) identify the distributional impacts of the UI program; and (5) determine how the UI system can be modified to soften the impacts of unemployment and improve equity outcomes.
