受过高等教育的人心理健康状况得到改善。我们思考教育程度对心理健康的好处是否是无限的。在个人层面，我们研究工作与教育不匹配的影响。在社会层面，我们假设教育经济回报的递减限制了其对心理健康的益处。使用欧洲社会调查（ESS 2006）中来自 21 个国家的 20 至 65 岁个体（N = 28,288）的子样本，我们估计了雇员层面（教育年限和职业教育不匹配）和劳动力市场/国家层面（非高等教育和高等教育受过高等教育的失业风险和收入差距）特征对抑郁症状的影响。结果表明，在大多数欧洲国家，教育程度对心理健康有益。然而，在一些国家，这些好处由于教育与劳动力市场的不匹配而受到限制甚至完全消除。
Higher-educated people experience enhanced mental health. We ponder whether the mental health benefits of educational attainment are limitless. At the individual level, we look at the impact of job-education mismatch. At the societal level, we hypothesize that diminishing economic returns on education limit its mental health benefits. Using a subsample of individuals aged 20 to 65 years (N = 28,288) from 21 countries in the European Social Survey (ESS 2006), we estimate the impact on depressive symptoms of characteristics at both the employee level (years of education and job-education mismatch) and the labor market/country level (the gap between the nontertiary and tertiary educated in terms of unemployment risks and earnings). The results show that educational attainment produces mental health benefits in most European countries. However, in some of the countries, these benefits are limited or even completely eliminated by education-labor market misfit.
