Key Points

The research aims to categorize dangerous work environments for young workers and analyze their impact on depression levels.
Utilized data from the 2022 Youth Life Survey involving 10,549 young workers aged 19-34.
Conducted latent profile analysis, multinomial logistic regression, and hierarchical regression analysis.
Identified five risk categories: mild-risk (6.2%), physical labor (5.8%), relatively safe (81.0%), emotional labor (3.7%), and high-risk (3.3%).
All risk categories significantly increased depression levels compared to the relatively safe group.
Males, low-education, and non-permanent job holders were more likely to be in higher risk groups.

Latent profile analysis identifies work environment types influencing depressive symptoms in young workers, suggesting tailored policy approaches.
