Could this rise in inactivity and illness be something to do with kids getting infected with COVID multiple times since 2019 and being told it was fine, coz they're young, and only the old people die? 🤷‍♀️

resolutionfoundation.org Resolution Foundation @resolutionfoundation.org · May 30
The sharp rise in youth inactivity since the pandemic corresponds very closely to the deterioration in young people’s health since 2019.

In 2019, 14 per cent of 18-24-year-olds said they had a long-term health condition
which limits their activity; by 2025 this had risen to 21 per cent.
Figure 7 shows three key results. First, there has been a long-run fall in inactivity due to looking after family (mainly coming from young women). Second, there has been a slight increase in inactivity for ‘other’ reasons (which, as discussed above, mainly consists of people who have not started looking for work yet, and people who simply do not give a reason). Third, and most strikingly, the share of 18-24-year-olds who are inactive due to ill health or disability has been rising since at least 2012, but has increased far more sharply since 2019, from 2.8 per cent to 4.2 per cent in 2025.

Going through triage options on screen at Urgent treatment centre is tricky when you have long term conditions. Do you have pain elsewhere-yes but asks self is it related - not absolutely sure? Oh well did my best. #Disability #LongTermConditions

Why does no one ever talk about / target for improvement the employer side of the equation? Because there is sure as hell not universal support from employers to recruit and retain #disabled people or those with #longtermconditions. Worse, active discrimination and constructive dismissal are real.

#WorkAndHealth #LongTermConditions
A diary study of UK workers self-managing long-term health conditions
Purpose: Little is known about characteristics of workers’ self-management of long-term health conditions or their changeability. Specifically, little insight exists into self-management confidence and specifically whether engaged workers are likely to be confident in self-managing a long-term condition at work. Methods: Using an online diary with six timepoints over a 10-week period, UK workers with long-term health conditions were asked to report on their self-management confidence and work engagement fortnightly. Results: Sixty-seven workers made at least one diary entry. Fifty-seven participated at timepoint 1,39 in three or more timepoints and 11 in all six. Multi-level modelling revealed workers’ self-management confidence not significantly changing over time. Consistent with one study hypothesis, model-ling revealed work engagement having an effect on people’s self-management confidence. Conclusion: Work engagement might promote workers’ long-term condition self-management. Providing support for work engagement could benefit people’s self-management confidence although more research is needed to ascertain the relationship between the variables
