Abstract

Abstract:

From the perspective of social structure and based on the data from the “Chinese Family Panel Studies in 2008—Shanghai,” this study analyzes the distributions of mental health among different social classes and the distributional changes across different age groups. Mental health is found to be positively correlated with education, income, occupation, and social position but negatively with financial difficulties and unfair treatments. The relationship between age and mental health displays an inverted Ushaped (“∩”) developmental trend. In addition, varied changes are observed in the relationships of occupation type and education with mental health across different age groups. Further studies are needed to explain the better mental state of those who have been laid off but the poorer mental state of young technical workers.
