“…Associations between SR and covariates at individual and contextual levels were generally similar to previous studies [5,6,7,8,33,34,35]. These results show that improving financial affordability of households, maintaining appropriate housing prices, increasing labor income share, and preventing adolescent crime might reduce adolescent SR. Increases in SR with increased college enrollment rates might be the result of excessive competition for college entrance.…”

This study evaluated associations between contextual political determinants and individual adolescent suicide risk (SR). Using repeated cross-sectional individual-level data of 829,861 students in the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey and national contextual-level data during 2005–2016, cross-classified random effects models were conducted to estimate fixed period and cohort effects of political determinants on SR. Adolescent SR was reduced during conservative presidential regimes. Contrary to presidencies’ period effects, conservative regimes had negative cohort effects on adolescent SR. The odds of suicide attempt and depression increased in the grade cohorts affected by college entrance examination policies of conservative regimes. Politics has significantly impacted adolescent SR despite differences in period and cohort effects of politics. These findings imply the need to encourage adolescents’ political participation in choosing political forces with policies favorable to their own mental health.

“…Ettner (1996) found a significant effect of income on both physical and mental health, exploiting various instruments, spousal and parental education among others, while Golberstein (2015), exploiting the Notch, which reflects a permanent, exogenous shock to Social Security income among retirees in the USA, finds a significant effect only on women's mental health. Atalay et al (2017), exploiting house price increases, finds a positive effect of wealth on the physical health of home-owners and a negative effect on the health of renters in Australia. McInerney et al (2013) exploited the variation in stock holdings caused by the 2008 US stock market crash and concluded that changes in wealth have a significant effect on the feeling of depression, dependent upon the extent of loss, but no effect on clinically validated depression measures.…”

The impact of wealth and income on the depression of older adults across European welfare regimes

2019

This paper examines the impact of wealth and income on the likelihood of depression among persons aged 50 or higher in four European regions characterised by differences in the standards of living and welfare systems. To address possible effects, data from Wave 6 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) have been used. Based on a sample of 60,864 persons resident in 16 European countries and a binary indicator of depression, probit and instrumental variable probit models were employed, the latter of which deal with issues of endogeneity and omitted variable bias. The findings show differences in the prevalence of depression across Europe, favouring the more affluent North/Western countries. Further, there is a difference in the role and the magnitude of the effect of income and wealth across different regions. First, though both measures exhibit a measurable effect, their impact is greater in the poorer Central/Eastern and Southern regions; this divide is more pronounced for wealth. Second, income seems to have a stronger effect compared to wealth in all instances: hence, it would seem that liquidity is more important among Europeans aged 50 or higher than assets. Nevertheless, neither income nor wealth are important among persons aged 65 or higher in Nordic countries which may be partly attributable to a more equitable welfare system.

“…In contrast to these findings, research examining the mental health impacts of casual employment has found no direct effect (Richardson, Lester and Zhang 2012;Hahn, McVicar and Wooden 2021). A large body of research using HILDA Survey data has found negative impacts on mental health of poor housing affordability and housing tenure (e.g., Bentley et al 2011;Mason et al 2013;Atalay, Edwards and Liu 2017).…”

Mental health has been a focus of over 200 journal articles using the HILDA Survey data. This brief review provides an overview of the mental health data collected through the HILDA Survey, and discusses the potential reasons why HILDA Survey data have been used so frequently in mental health research. We reflect on how the HILDA Survey data have: provided insights into the profile of mental health in the Australian community, illustrated the importance of social ties for mental health and enabled investigation of social inequalities in mental health.
