Resumen
En América Latina muchas personas mayores trabajan en empleos informales; sin embargo, existe un limitado conocimiento sobre cómo sus condiciones laborales (horas de trabajo, ambiente, seguridad) influyen en su salud física y metal, y su calidad de vida. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar las implicaciones del ambiente laboral en el riesgo de síntomas depresivos en personas mayores con empleos informales en Ciudad Juárez, México. La metodología analiza los datos de una encuesta intencional a trabajadores informales de 65 y más años, utilizando técnicas cuantitativas (intervalos de confianza, correlaciones, chi-cuadrado, Odds Ratio, regresión logística binaria, ANOVA y Post Hoc). Los resultados indican que el riesgo de depresión está asociado con las condiciones socioeconómicas, capacidades funcionales y de salud, hábitos de consumo, y demandas del entorno laboral físico y social. Este riesgo varía según el lugar de trabajo, especialmente en comercios ambulantes y vía pública, donde también está relacionado con problemas de salud, económicos y consumo de alcohol. Se propone revisar los programas de salud pública y empleo para prevenir amenazas para la salud e integridad de personas mayores con empleos informales.
In Latin America many older people work in informal jobs; however, there is limited knowledge about how their working conditions (work hours, environment, safety) influence their physical and mental health, and their quality of life. This research aims at examining the impact of workplace environment on depressive symptoms among the informally-employed elders in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The methodology analyzes the data from an intentional survey of informal workers aged 65 and over, using quantitative techniques (confidence intervals, correlations, chi-square, Odds Ratio, binary logistic regression, ANOVA, and Post Hoc). Results indicate that the risk of depression is associated with people’ socioeconomic conditions, functional and health capacities, consumption habits, and with the physical and social working environment demands. This risk varies according to the workplace, especially in commerce and street shops, where it is also related with health, economic and alcohol-consumption problems. A strategy to review public health and employment programs to prevent threats for health and integrity of older people with informal employment is proposed.
