"Women are more exposed to precarious employment and psychosocial risk factors than men. Precarious employment was associated with poorer mental health in both sexes; the association was greater among women.
Among men, psychosocial risks had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between precarious employment and mental health, while among women, they had a total mediating effect. Low social support was the factor that contributes the most to the mediating effect in both sexes."
