Özet

Objective: Determining the existence of the cycle between the economic crisis-unemployment-cancer and implementing appropriate policies for this is important in the fight against cancer, which is an important public health problem. Mass unemployment caused by the practices in the COVID-19 process is worrisome in this sense. The cost of policies that may prevent the unemployment process will be much cheaper than the costs of cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment, care, organ-life losses, production and labor losses. Materials and Methods: Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron (PP) Unit Root Tests, Engel-Granger, Johansen Cointegration Test Granger Causality Test Over VAR Model. Results: Unemployment and cancer incidence are not cointegrated in the long run, according to the research. A one-sided causality from unemployment to cancer incidence has been discovered in the short term. As a result unemployment is a Granger cause of cancer. Conclusions: The determination of unemployment as a cause of cancer incidence, implementation of emergency policies to prevent unemployment will reduce costs in fighting cancer. And it will prevent cancer cases caused by the increase in stress and anxiety caused by unemployment.
