abstract: 'Background. - The purpose of this research is to determine whether, in

  the Canadian workforce, cultural identity traits, particularly ethnicity

  and immigrant status, might modify the association of work with

  depressive symptoms.

  Method. - Data were derived from the nine cycles of the National

  Population Health Survey (NPHS) conducted by Statistics Canada. Based on

  a sample of 6477 workers, multilevel regression models were brought into

  being. Analyses were adjusted for family-related factors, non-work

  social support, and personal characteristics.

  Results. - After accounting for potential confounders, ethnicity and

  work-related factors were distinctly and directly associated with

  depressive symptoms. Workers belonging to visible minorities had

  significantly fewer depressive symptoms than their Caucasian

  counterparts. Unlike Caucasians, they were more often overqualified,

  less in a position to use their skills, and largely without

  decision-making authority. On the other hand, all analyses having to do

  with immigrant status led to inconclusive results.

  Conclusion. - Ethnicity seems to have some bearing on the association of

  work with depressive symptoms among members of the Canadian workforce.

  It might be beneficial to carry out targeted interventions aimed at

  improving working conditions according to ethnicity and situations

  involving professional overqualification. (C) 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS.
