Labor Rights and Mental Health: Survey on migrant workers in Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta

受“富士康事件”影响,外来工精神健康状况引起了社会的广泛关注。基于2010年珠三角和长三角问卷调查数据,本文发现,在我们的样本中,14.7%的外来工是精神疾病的高危人群,虽然与普通群体(如学生、护士、普通市民等)相比,其精神健康问题并不特别突出,但是与劳动权益状况密切相关。Logit回归分析表明,超时加班、工作环境有危害和强迫劳动会恶化外来工精神健康状况,社会网络对调节外来工精神健康作用甚微。在当前的用工模式下,我们认为,马克思关于异化劳动损害工人精神健康的分析仍然符合中国现实。我们主张,精神健康是劳动权益的题中应有之义。

 The “Foxconn Incident” has drawn the social concern and public attention to the mental health of migrant workers extensively． Based on the survey on migrant workers in Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta，we find that 14. 7% of migrant workers are under high risk of mental disease． Compared with other groups，such as students，nurses and citizens，the mental health status of migrant workers is no significant difference，but it is related with labor rights significantly． Using the Binary Logit model，we find that，first of all，labor right is a major factor affecting the mental health of migrant workers; secondly，social networks have little effect on mental health． Under the current labor relationship，we argue that Marx's analysis that labor alienation causes psychological problems of workers is also in accord with the reality of contemporary China． In addition，we believe that mental health should be a part of labor standards．
