2024, Journal of Affective DisordersUrban precarity and youth mental health: An interpretive scoping review of emerging approaches
2023, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :They have argued that increased precarity of the labour market has had consequences for mental health, with the suggestion that this has been particularly marked for young people who now face uncertain employment futures (Robinson, 2019; Toivanen et al., 2020). Although a variety of potential causes are outlined in the review, the consensus is that individual vulnerability to poor mental health is a result of the complex interaction of different factors, i.e. environmental, physical and social (Evans, 2003; Guan, 2017; Gong et al., 2016; Hoare et al., 2019; Krabbendam et al., 2020; Ludermir and Harpham, 1998; Mutumba et al., 2016). As such, and in response to the youth advisors' call for more integrating frameworks, it is important for future research to prioritise these interactions rather than separate them.

2020, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Overall, the effects of poverty on depressive symptoms were mediated through effects of deterioration of household living conditions and decrease in social participation. Our findings on the mediating effects of household living conditions were consistent with previous evidence that overcrowding, inadequate housing, hazardous environmental conditions, and insufficient access to clean water, sanitation, and other basic services are crucial in mediating the extent to which poverty-related variables affect the development of mental health disorders (Gillis et al., 1991; Harpham, 1994). The mediating effect of social participation can be explained by the findings of a number of studies that have considered individual psychological factors such as economic distress and “mastery” (i.e., personal control) as mediating the association between poverty and depressive symptoms (Alang, 2014; Patel et al., 2006).
