This study aimed to provide the basic data necessary for preventing and intervening with depression among young women in their 20s and 30s in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, this study examined the relationship between occupation and depressive mood among women in their 20s and 30s, comparing before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the effects of economic activity status on depressive mood were analyzed with logistic regression analysis for women in their 20s and 30s (2018, N=916; 2020, N=835). The results show that the unemployed are more likely to experience depression, and it was found that the impact became more severe when comparing the data of 2018 and 2020 before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, after the pandemic, women in the service and sales work experienced more severe depressive moods than in other occupations, while the unemployment status was significant with the 2018 data before the pandemic. Based on these results, we discussed policy and intervention implications for women in their 20s and 30s after the COVID-19 crisis.
