Abstract: Depressions is a costly and debilitating occupational health problem. Various national and international studies indicate that women in developed countries experience depression up to twice the rate of men. Studies that have examined the gender difference have focused on social, personality, and genetic explanation while few have explored factors in the workplace that may contribute to the gender differential. The current study applies to CDC's strategic goal addressing healthy workplaces with its intent to promote and protect the health and safety of people who work by conducting research that has the potential to prevent workplace-related illness and personal health risks. The present study utilizes this mandate to examine the relationship between workplace stressors and depression in women workers. Depressional in women is a significant occupational health problem, with some researchers even labeling it "a working women's health issue".
