Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary
This paper examines the correlations between socioeconomic status, economic shocks, and depression, and how these vary by gender, in a sample of adults from India. Poverty and the exposure to negative shocks are both associated with depression. However, the frequency of negative shocks varies only slightly by socioeconomic status and gender. Instead, poor people and women appear to be more vulnerable to negative shocks. These patterns suggest that social protection programs may foster mental health for these groups and reduce mental health disparities.
