This cross-sectional study used data from 28,096 non-agricultural workers from the Sixth Ecuadorian Living Conditions Survey (2013/14). Employment profiles were categorized as dependent formal (reference), independent formal, dependent informal, and independent informal. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Adjusted prevalence ratios (PRa) for the association between employment profiles and depressive symptoms were calculated using Poisson regression models with robust variance. All analyses were performed using Stata v.17.
