Employment-related mental health outcomes among Australian migrants: A 19-year longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Migrants experience various stressors at different stages of migration based on their country of origin, ethnic backgrounds, migration context and host country.

The study investigates whether the country of origin modifies the association between employment and mental health for Australian migrants.

Methods

Nineteen waves of data from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey were used. Using fixed-effects regression, we examined the effects of within-person changes in employment status on mental health outcomes as measured by the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5), controlling for time-varying confounders and stratified by sex and examined effect
