本文调查了有偿工作的性别影响，并过渡到有偿工作，对青少年和年轻人（AYAs）的心理健康在印度资源匮乏的环境。基线时年龄在10-19岁之间的16，292名AYA的数据来自2015-16年在印度进行的纵向调查，他们将在2018-19年再次进行随访。平均估计传达的精神疾病健康评分（MIS）的AYA谁参加了有偿工作是显着高于那些从来没有参加过，特别是女性。MIS的绝对男女差距也从2015-16年的1.16增加到2018-19年的1.78。多个强大的计量经济模型的基础上的研究结果表明，增加MIS的结果，从不工作到有偿工作或留在有偿工作的过渡是更显着的女性比男性净的其他混杂因素。有酬工作对MIS的性别影响对上学和婚姻状况敏感。工具变量回归估计加强了我们的论点，即在青少年和学龄儿童中过渡到有偿工作会导致更高的心理问题。总之，我们提出，青春期参与有偿工作会对心理健康产生负面影响，并且具有性别敏感性，对上学和已婚女性青少年的影响更为明显。
This paper investigates the gendered impact of paid work, and transition into paid work, on the mental health of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) in resource-poor settings in India. Data on 16,292 AYAs aged 10–19 years at the baseline were drawn from a longitudinal survey conducted in 2015–16 in India who are followed-up again in 2018–19. The mean estimates convey that Mental Ill-health Score (MIS) for AYAs who participated in paid work was significantly higher than those who had never participated, especially for females. The absolute female-male gap in MIS also increased from 1.16 in 2015–16 to 1.78 in 2018–19. Findings based on multiple robust econometric models reveal that the increase in MIS as a result of transitioning from not working to paid work or remaining in paid work was more significant for females than males net of other confounders. The gendered effect of paid work on MIS was sensitive to school attendance and marital status. Instrument variable regression estimates strengthen our argument that transition to paid work in adolescents and school-going ages cause higher psychological issues net of other predictors. In conclusion, we advance that participation in paid work during adolescence negatively impacts mental health and is gender-sensitive, with a more pronounced effect for school-going and married female AYAs.
