Abstract
Southeast Asian refugees resettled in North America during an economic recession, and were subject to economic distress which may have had negative personal and family consequences. The relationship of economic distress (employment instability, economic deprivation, economic strain, and employment uncertainty) to selected consequences was assessed, emphasizing the role of household composition as a mediator of the consequences. Responses of 274 unemployed refugees reveal that economic distress altered the severity of consequences sustained and different economic distress measures were significantly related to each consequence. Economic strain (perception of financial adequacy) had the most influence on the consequences. Postponing family reunification was a major consequence. Results on household composition suggest that living in a traditional household or one of all related people may have buffered the effect of the consequences.
