description

This study uses three rounds of European Social Survey to study the effects from the status in the labour market of individuals from general population on the strength of their depression symptoms. Particular interest is in the comparison of the mismatched (over- and undereducated) to other kinds of status. Mismatch is defined by a normative (ISCO-based) measure. The main result is that not only overeducation but also (though to a smaller extent) undereducation is associated with an increased presence of depression symptoms. Health, income, personality, religion, the frequency of watching news on TV and partner’s status in the labour market are among the independent variables.
