Abstract
Background: Unemployment, insufficient resources, family poverty, and poor financial benefits are crucial determinants for internal or external migration of large sections of educated youth.
Aims: To perform a comparative analysis of different levels of job satisfaction and the status of mental morbidity among migrant and nonmigrant population.
Settings and design: A cross-sectional study was employed between March 2016 and October 2017 at the field practice area of one of the tertiary health care institutes in Anand District of Gujarat State of India.
Methods and material: A total of 456 educated and skilled professionals participated in the study. Job descriptive index, Job in General, and Global Health Questionnaire-28 were utilized.
Statistical analysis: The data entry was performed in Epi Info™ 7 followed by data analysis in EPI-INFO Software.
Results and conclusions: The overall job satisfaction in the study was found to be significantly higher among nonmigrants than migrants. All three scores were correlated with each other significantly. Overall, migrants were found to be significantly less satisfied with their jobs in general and more psychologically distressed, as compared to their nonmigrant counterparts.
