本研究探讨了日本、韩国和中国的社会经济地位对抑郁症的影响，重点是劳动力市场结构的差异。东亚社会之间的比较研究使研究抑郁症的研究人员能够分析每个社会中独特制度的影响，同时在一定程度上保持对精神疾病的文化态度不变。本研究使用2003年日本全国家庭调查、2003年韩国全国家庭调查和2006年中国家庭调查的数据，考察了教育和劳动力市场地位对抑郁症的影响。结果显示，社会经济地位与抑郁的关系在三个社会中存在差异。在日本，就业合同类型对抑郁症有显着影响，而在韩国，较高的教育程度与抑郁症呈负相关。在中国，工作组织类型对抑郁有显著影响。根据这些结果，两种类型的劳动力市场结构，旨在区分社会经济地位和抑郁症之间的关系，划定：劳动力市场与安全部门，和灵活的劳动力市场。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This study explores the effects of socioeconomic status on depression in Japan, Korea, and China, focusing on the differences in their labor market structures. Comparative studies among East Asian societies allow researchers studying depression to analyze the effects of unique institutions within each society while holding constant, to a certain extent, cultural attitudes toward mental disorders. This study uses data from National Family Research of Japan 2003, Korean National Family Survey 2003, and Family Survey of China 2006 to examine the effects of education and labor market positions on depression. The results show that the relationship between socioeconomic status and depression differs among the three societies. In Japan, the type of employment contract has a significant impact on depression, while in Korea, higher educational attainment negatively relates to depression. In China, the type of work organization has a significant impact on depression. Based on these results, two types of labor market structures, aimed at differentiating the relationship between socioeconomic status and depression, are delineated: labor markets with a secured sector, and flexible labor markets.
