abstract: 'Compared to recent generations, workers today generally experience
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poorer quality employment across both contractual (e.g., wages, hours)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and relational (e.g., participation in decision-making, power dynamics)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dimensions within the worker-employer relationship. Recent research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shows that women are more likely to experience poor-quality employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and that these conditions are associated with adverse health effects,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggesting employment relations may contribute to gender inequities in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health. We analyzed data from the General Social Survey (2002-2018) to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explore whether the multidimensional construct of employment quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(EQ) mediates the relationship between gender and health among a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
representative, cross-sectional sample of U.S. wage earners. Using a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
counterfactually-based causal mediation framework, we found that EQ
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
plays a meaningful role in a gender-health relationship, and that if the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distribution of EQ among women was equal to that observed in men, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
probability of reporting poor self-reported health and frequent mental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distress among women would be lower by 1.5\% (95\% Confidence Interval:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.5-2.8\%) and 2.6\% (95\% CI: 0.6-4.6\%), respectively. Our use of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
multidimensional, typological measure of EQ allowed our analysis to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better account for substantial heterogeneity in the configuration of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contemporary employment arrangements. Additionally, this study is one of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the first mediation analyses with a nominal mediator within the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
epidemiologic literature. Our results highlight EQ as a potential target
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for intervention to reduce gender inequities in health.'
