BACKGROUND: Despite its growing interest, time poverty is a neglected issue in public health analysis and policies. The objectives of this study were: (1) to analyse gender differences in paid, unpaid and total working time; (2) to identify gender differences in the factors related to time poverty; and (3) to examine gender differences in the relationship between time poverty, health and health-related behaviours in the city of Barcelona (Spain).…
Enfermedades emergentes transmitidas por el mosquito Aedes aegypti entre la población maya de Yucatán
Analizando etnográficamente los brotes epidémicos de dos enfermedades vectoriales emergentes (chikungunya y zika) entre la población maya del oriente de Yucatán durante los años 2015 a 2017, indagamos la influencia de dos variables (percepción del riesgo y modelos de atención) en la vulnerabilidad de esta población a dichas enfermedades. Concluimos que la vulnerabilidad fue resultado de que los riesgos percibidos por los mayas, al no ser reconoci…
Financial Strain and Health Status Among European Workers
Objectives: Although in-work poverty has been increasing, in Europe policy about poverty and social exclusion tends to focus on labor market participation, independently of the level of remuneration and the quality of work, and studies about financial strain among workers, as well as on its relationship with health status, are still scarce. The objectives of this study were: (1) to compare the prevalence of financial strain among workers among di…

Is Being Employed Always Better for Mental Wellbeing Than Being Unemployed? Exploring the Role of Gender and Welfare State Regimes during the Economic Crisis
The growth of poor jobs related to economic crisis adds to its increase since the mid-1970s as a result of new forms of flexible employment. In Europe, there is no clear evidence on whether working in a poor-quality job is better for mental wellbeing than being unemployed. The objectives of this study were to compare mental wellbeing between the unemployed and those working in jobs with different quality levels and to examine gender and welfare s…
Long Working Hours and Job Quality in Europe
Chronic extreme long working hours (LWH) have been found consistently associated with poor health status. However, the evidence for moderately LWH (41−60 h a week) is contradictory. Although poor job quality has been proposed as one of the mechanisms of this relationship, there are almost no studies about LWH and job quality. The objectives of this study were to analyze the association between moderately LWH and job quality in the EU27, as well a…
Employment stability and mental health in Spain
There is a rise in poor mental health as the distance from stable employment grows. This result differs according to the interaction with gender and partner/marital status. In Spain this relationship seems to follow a pattern related to the gender division of work in married people but not in other partner/marital situations. Family and socioeconomic context can contribute to explain previous mixed results. Recommendations for research and for ac…

Long working hours and health in Europe
How to Resist Austerity
While most countries have imposed austerity policies that risk jeopardizing the progress towards gender equality, there are examples of European regions that have maintained or strengthened gender‐equality policies in a climate of economic downturn. Following a realist approach and adopting Kingdon's agenda‐setting model as our framework, this explanatory case study examines how, why and under which circumstances the gender budgeting strategy has…

Understanding the relationship of long working hours with health status and health-related behaviours
BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study are to identify family and job characteristics associated with long work hours, to analyse the relationship between long work hours and several health indicators, and to examine whether gender differences for both objectives exist. METHODS: The sample was composed of all salaried workers aged 16-64 years (3950 men and 3153 women) interviewed in the 2006 Catalonian Health Survey. Weekly work hours were cate…
Unemployment and Mental Health
Objectives. We examined gender differences in the effects of unemployment on mental health and assessed whether such effects are associated with interactions among gender, family roles, and social class.

Unemployment had more of an effect on the mental health of men (age-adjusted odds ratio [OR] …
