摘要
ObjectivesTo investigate whether intergenerational mobility in education and income are associated with levels of psychological distress in Canada, a context in which rates of intergenerational mobility are higher than those of the United States but lower than those of Nordic countries.MethodsThe data came from the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults (LISA) linked to tax records from the Canada Revenue Agency (N = 4100). Diagonal reference models were used to investigate whether educational mobility and income mobility were associated with levels of psychological distress in adulthood as assessed by the Kessler (K-10) scale. The models controlled for sociodemographic characteristics and were stratified by gender.ResultsAlthough we did not find that mobility in general was associated with greater levels of psychological distress, we found that downward educational mobility in particular corresponded to higher levels of psychological distress (b = 0.15 with 95% CI = 0.00, 0.31) among men.ConclusionOverall, we found no strong evidence that social mobility in general is impactful for levels of psychological distress, but downward educational mobility in particular may have negative consequences for the mental health of men. In addition, a notable gradient between income and psychological distress in adulthood was observed for both women and men. Objectifsetudier dans quelle(s) mesure(s) la mobilite intergenerationnelle en matiere d'education et de revenu est associee aux niveaux de detresse psychologique au Canada, dans un contexte ou les taux de mobilite intergenerationnelle sont plus eleves qu'aux etats-Unis, mais plus faibles que dans les pays nordiques.MethodesLes donnees proviennent de l'etude longitudinale et internationale des adultes (ELIA) reliee aux dossiers fiscaux de l'Agence du revenu du Canada (N = 4 100). Des modeles de reference diagonaux ont ete utilises pour determiner si la mobilite educationnelle et la mobilite des revenus etaient associees aux niveaux de detresse psychologique a l'age adulte, tels qu'evalues par l'echelle de Kessler (K-10). Les modeles ont tenu compte des caracteristiques sociodemographiques et ont ete stratifies en fonction du genre.ResultatsBien que nous n'ayons pas trouve que la mobilite en general etait associee a des niveaux plus eleves de detresse psychologique, nous avons trouve que la mobilite educationnelle descendante correspondait a des niveaux plus eleves de detresse psychologique (b = 0,15 avec IC 95% = 0,00, 0,31) chez les hommes.ConclusionDans l'ensemble, nous n'avons pas trouve de preuves solides que la mobilite sociale en general a un impact sur les niveaux de detresse psychologique, mais la mobilite educationnelle descendante en particulier peut avoir des consequences negatives sur la sante mentale des hommes. En outre, un gradient notable entre le revenu et la detresse psychologique a l'age adulte a ete observe tant chez les femmes que chez les hommes.
