Feeling well while chronically ill or impaired: A multilevel study on the moderating role of employment and volunteering in Europe
People with a chronic condition tend to report poorer subjective well-being than people without. This article examines the dependence of the relationship on doing paid and voluntary work, and on macro-level labour market exclusion of people with and without chronic conditions. Data from the European Quality of Life Survey (2011–2012) of people aged between 25 and 65 are analysed using multilevel regression techniques. A chronic condition has a st…
Breastfeeding or Bottled Milk? Poverty and Feeding Choices in the Native and Immigrant Population in Belgium
Depression in Europe: Does migrant integration have mental health payoffs? A cross-national comparison of 20 European countries
Objectives. Depression is a leading cause of ill health and disability. As migrants form an increasing group in Europe, already making up about 8.7% of the population in 2010, knowledge on migrant-related inequalities in depression is of main public health interest. In this study, we first assess whether migrants in Europe are at higher risk for depression compared to the native population. Second, we assess whether the association between migrat…
Do welfare regimes influence the association between disability and self-perceived health? A multilevel analysis of 57 countries
Affective team climate: A multi-level analysis of psychosocial working conditions and psychological distress in team workers
In occupational health research, the demand-control-support (DCS) model has attracted a great deal of attention. Although this model emphasizes the interaction between workers and their work environment, the DCS framework has mainly been tested at the micro-level. The present study shows that combining the DCS model with insights from organizational climate studies offers a fruitful theoretical framework by which to address variation in psycholog…
Genderverschillen in professioneel zorggebruik in 25 Europese landen - Een onderzoek naar de impact van medicaliseringsattitudes en genderstratificatie
Gender differences in professional health service use in 25 European countries A study on the impact of medicalisation attitudes and gender stratification .In this paper we investigate the impact of gender stratification on the gender gap in both medicalisation attitudes and professional health care use. Furthermore, we examine to what extent medicalisation attitudes explain the gender gap in professional health care use. Using data from the seco…
Measuring Employment Arrangements in the European Labour Force: A Typological Approach
Differences in working conditions and employment arrangements among migrant and non-migrant workers in Europe
Migrant workers across Europe are more likely to be exposed to certain working and employment arrangements that may place them at higher risk of future health problems
P1-216 Surviving experience or limited future? A comparative analysis of economic hardship and depression across the adult life span in different welfare state regimes in Europe
In a study of depression in the general population living in the USA, Mirowsky and Ross (2001) found that economic hardship related depression decreases with age, suggesting increasing surviving experience as one gets older. We test whether this pattern can be generalised to other developed nations. Based on data for 23 countries taking part in the European Social Survey (2006–2007), multilevel analyses shows that the moderating role of age is in…
P1-215 Depression in different welfare state regimes in Europe: The role of attitudes towards state responsibility for an adequate standard of living
Introduction Recent cross-national research by Levecque et al (Journal of Health and Social Behaviour, in press) has shown that the health effects of social experiences are attenuated, boosted or even reversed by the sociopolitical context. More specifically, it was found that the link between economic hardship and depression varies between different welfare state regimes in Europe. Objectives Currently, we assess whether this variation in depres…
P1-219 Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs access to NHS services in Scotland
Introduction Scotland is a multi-cultural society with 2% of the population made up of people from a minority ethnic background, more than 70% of whom are Asian and from a Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi or other South Asian background. Such a mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds gives rise to a multitude of different needs and expectations that require to be incorporated within health service planning and delivery. Objectives Muslims ge…
Economic Hardship and Depression across the Life Course: The Impact of Welfare State Regimes
Previous research in the United States suggests that depression related to economic hardship decreases with age. We test whether this pattern can be generalized to other developed nations. Based on data from 23 countries in the European Social Survey (2006-2007), multilevel analyses show that the moderating role of age depends on the socio-political context. While the hardship-depression link is not significantly different across the life course …
Differential exposure and differential vulnerability as counteracting forces linking the psychosocial work environment to socioeconomic health differences
BACKGROUND: In this article, the link between (1) psychosocial working conditions (job demands, job autonomy, task variation, social support), (2) self-reported health (persistent fatigue, musculoskeletal complaints, emotional well-being) and (3) socioeconomic position (skill levels, occupational status) is explored. The two theoretical pathways linking the psychosocial work environment to socioeconomic differences in health are explored: differe…
Gender differences in depression in 25 European countries after eliminating measurement bias in the CES-D 8
Gender differences in depression in 23 European countries. Cross-national variation in the gender gap in depression
Linking credentialed skills, social class, working conditions and self-reported health: A Focus on Health Inequality-Generating Mechanisms
In this study, focus is on the mechanisms linking credentialed skills and social class relations to five dimensions of occupational stressors and three self-reported health outcomes: persistent fatigue, musculoskeletal complaints and emotional wellbeing. We test for direct health associations of skills/class. Moreover, indirect health associations of skills/class, through differential exposure to occupational stressors and effect modifications of…
