abstract: 'Women''s labor force participation has increased dramatically over the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
past several decades. Although previous research has documented that a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wide array of labor market characteristics affect health, more work is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
needed to understand how women are impacted by gender-specific
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment patterns and exposures. We examine a cohort of 659 employed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women from the Baltimore Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) study in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
USA. Baseline and follow-up data collected 13 years apart are used to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
identify associations between demographic, labor market, work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
organization, and occupational gender inequality with four health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes: generalized distress, depressive syndrome, anxiety and fair or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poor health. We also use gender-specific data on the workplace to create
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicators of occupational gender inequality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We found wide gender inequalities in terms of pay and power in this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sample of employed women. Financial strain was associated with all of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
our mental health outcomes with those reporting financial strain having
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased odds of distress, depressive syndrome and anxiety for the 13
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
years prior to the interview. Workplace factors that were found to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with the four outcomes included experiencing a promotion or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
demotion in the 13 years prior to the interview; working at a large
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
firm; and being a professional. Occupations where women compared to men
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
had lower levels of job strain-domestic workers in private households,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
machine operator and transportation-showed increased risk for anxiety or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fair/poor health.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our findings suggest that measuring the complexities of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including promotion or demotion history, firm characteristics and even
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational gender inequality can yield important information about
