Abstract
Insecure employment and irregular income have become important components of risk in contemporary society. This mixed-methods study investigates the social correlates and mental health implications of economic risks during China's 2020 COVID-19 outbreak. Given China's uneven geographic distribution of COVID-19 and its distinctive institutional arrangements, we theorise and empirically test social disparities by region and work unit ( danwei ). National panel survey data collected in 2020 show that residents of Hubei province (initial epicentre) and workers in non-state work units perceived heightened job insecurity and were more likely to experience income loss. Inequalities in job insecurity and income loss across regions and work units were, in turn, associated with region- and danwei -based disparities in mental health. Qualitative interview data further illuminate how residents of Wuhan (the capital of Hubei) who lived through the COVID-19 outbreak experienced and made sense of economic risks and the associated mental distress during the crisis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
