Objective: To analyse the relationship between precarious employment, measured by dimensions and as a multidimensional index, on the mental health of salaried men and women in the Basque Country (Spain).

Method: A subsample (n=3345) of the 2018 Basque Autonomous Community Health Survey was used to calculate the standardised prevalence of poor mental health according to the degree of precarious employment, measured as a composite scale and by each of its dimensions, and to perform robust Poisson regression models to analyse the association between precarious employment, also composite and by dimensions, and the mental health of the salaried population.

Results: Precarious employment is significantly associated with poor mental health among men (prevalence ratio [PR]: 3.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyse the extent to which research and knowledge production on a key occupational health issue-the impact of precarious employment on health-incorporates, and is sensitive to, a gender perspective.

Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out to identify studies that analysed the relationship between precarious employment and mental health in the period January 2010-May 2018 through. A minimum of two independent reviewers assessed each article for quality and eligibility.

Article Synopsis
  • Precarious employment, which means jobs that are unstable or insecure, has been growing over the years, but experts don't agree on what it really means or how it affects mental health.

  • After checking a lot of studies, they found a link between unstable jobs and mental health issues, but more research is needed to fully understand how these jobs affect people's well-being, including a focus on gender and other factors.
