Abstract

There are 295.62 million migrant workers moving to urban cities from the countryside in China in 2022. Migrant workers are at heightened risk of suffering from mental issues, and work-related factors are the significant stressors. This systematic literature review focuses on exploring the relevant occupational risk factors that impact the mental health of migrant workers relocating from rural areas to urban cities in China. According to PRISMA guidelines, articles were retrieved and screened from the databases including SCOPUS, Web of Science core collection, PsycArticles, COCHRANE library, MEDLINE Complete, PsycINFO, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, CNKI, WANFANG. Finally, all 8 of these peer-reviewed journals included in the review were English or Chinese and published between 2009 and 2023. It was found that the major risk factors in the workplace included job stresses, higher effort and lower reward, long work hours, and hazardous work environment. Meanwhile, Job stresses comprised intense workload, role conflicts with leaders and co-workers, role ambiguity, and lack of utilization of skills. Overall, migrant workers are a high-risk group for suffering from bad mood states and mental issues such as depression, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, etc. Relevant government departments and enterprises take effective measures to reduce these risk factors in the workplace so that migrant workers can have better mental states.
