[url="http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news/health/quarter-of-labourers-clinically-depressed"]A new study[/url] conducted by the Community Medicine Department of the United Arab Emirates University reveals that at least 25.1% of migrant workers are clinically depressed. The study was conducted on 318 labor camp workers using translated questionnaires. The abstract is available [url="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21503739"]online[/url], and the study will be published in the Immigrant Minority Health Journal next month.
The study also found that 6.3% of migrant workers entertain suicidal thoughts and 2.5% have attempted to take their own lives. The findings added to the growing collection of studies on the Emirate’s migrant workers; one such study [url="http://www.emirates247.com/crime/local/indians-top-list-of-suicides-in-dubai-2011-10-24-1.425025"]conducted by the Dubai Police Department[/url] found the highest rates of suicide to be [b]amongst Indians and other South Asians, who account for 90% of all suicides in Dubai.[/b] The conclusions corroborated an [url="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15274957"]earlier study[/url] examining suicide patterns from 1992-2000, which found male expatriates to be the most likely to take their own lives.
The study was submitted to the Ministry of Labor with recommendations to legislate a minimum wage as well as a maximum 8 hour work day. Correlations between depression, wages and the number of hours worked, confirmed concerns [url="http://gulfnews.com/about-gulf-news/al-nisr-portfolio/tabloid/articles/labour-needs-laws-and-fast-1.234731"]voiced by migrant NGOs in the past[/url]. Given that long work days and low wages prevail throughout the Gulf, the consequences – as well as the proposed solutions – are likely pertinent across the region.
