      Study among Internal Migrants in China.

AB  - This study examines the associations between objective work-related factors, job 
      satisfaction and depression among migrants in China. Data from a representative 
      sample of Chinese migrants named Management and Services of Migrants Study (MSMS) 
      were used after excluding 1068 self-employed participants. We employed 
      multivariate linear regression analysis. Depression was measured by the Centre 
      for Epidemiologic Study Depression (C-ESD) scale. Objective work-related factors 
      included firm size, job classification, mode of employment, working hours per 
      week, union membership and working overtime compulsorily. Measurement of job 
      satisfaction was derived from the Job Descriptive Index. We found that migrants 
      in the sales/services sector and the clerical/technical/managerial sector had 
      more depressive symptoms compared with those in the manufacturing/transportation 
      sector. Working more than 55 h per week was associated with more depressive 
      symptoms. Working overtime compulsorily and joining a labour union were all 
      associated with more depressive symptoms. In addition, job satisfaction was 
      negatively associated with depressive symptoms. The research findings on the 
      relationship between work-related factors and depressive symptoms may serve as a 
      guide for vocational rehabilitation counselling programs and for further research 
      on depression in workplaces.
