This study investigates the influence paths that late career participation affects depression of older workers.
The data of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2018) are used. Those who have reached the statutory retirement age in China (>60 years for males/>55 years for females) are investigated.
Late career participation may positively affect job-related physical activity and social contact (2.110 and 0.028, P < 0.01) and negatively affect non-job-related physical activity (-0.343, P < 0.01). Besides, job-related physical activity may exacerbate depression symptoms among older workers (0.017, P < 0.01), whereas non-job-related physical activity and social contact may alleviate it (-0.015 and -0.038, P < 0.01).
Late career participation could be associated with depression through different pathways involving job-related (and non-job-related) physical activity and social contact. The overall impact of late career participation on depression would depend on which influence pathway is dominant.
本研究探讨了晚年参与对老年工作者抑郁的影响途径。
本研究使用了中国健康与退休纵向研究(2018 年)的数据。调查了在中国达到法定退休年龄的人群(男性>60 岁,女性>55 岁)。
晚年参与可能会积极影响与工作相关的体力活动和社会交往(2.110 和 0.028,P<0.01),并消极影响与工作无关的体力活动(-0.343,P<0.01)。此外,与工作相关的体力活动可能会加重老年工人的抑郁症状(0.017,P<0.01),而与工作无关的体力活动和社会交往可能会减轻抑郁症状(-0.015 和 -0.038,P<0.01)。
晚年参与可能通过涉及与工作相关(和非工作相关)的体力活动和社会交往的不同途径与抑郁相关。晚年参与对抑郁的总体影响将取决于哪种影响途径占主导地位。
