The pandemic and the current situation have caused working poverty and therefore social risk, which implies a deterioration in well-being, affecting mental health and anxiety. In this context, the employment situation tends to be regarded ignoring previous social differences, economic and mental components, which should be considered when establishing priorities to program a global action of various synergistic elements. The study involved 4686 people (3500 women and 1186 men). They all completed a questionnaire that evaluated their anxiety, employment situation, income, changes of working status, and fears of becoming infected at the workplace. The results show the need to take into account the social determinants of mental health in vulnerable groups due to socioeconomic factors, job changes, contractual changes, age, or gender, considering the need to generate strategies to manage mental health and deal with it at a structural level, therefore displacing individual focus policies and interventions. An example of these policies are ERTEs (record of temporary employment regulation), constituting a perceived measure of protection and acting as an effective buffer against the economic crisis, thus reducing anxiety.
大流行和当前的形势导致了工作贫困和因此产生的社会风险，这意味着幸福感下降，影响了心理健康和焦虑。在这种情况下，就业情况往往被忽视，忽略了先前的社会差异、经济和心理因素，在确定优先事项以规划各种协同要素的全球行动时，应该考虑这些因素。该研究涉及 4686 人（3500 名女性和 1186 名男性）。他们都完成了一份问卷，评估了他们的焦虑、就业状况、收入、工作状态变化以及在工作场所感染的恐惧。结果表明，需要考虑弱势群体的心理健康的社会决定因素，这些因素是由社会经济因素、工作变化、合同变化、年龄或性别导致的，需要制定管理心理健康的战略，并在结构层面上处理它，从而取代针对个人的政策和干预措施。这些政策的一个例子是 ERTEs（临时就业法规记录），它构成了一种被认为是保护措施，并作为经济危机的有效缓冲，从而降低焦虑。
