Unemployment Rise Tied to More Suicides Among Men
Williams College economist Morton Schapiro and Dennis Ahlburg of the University of Minnesota report a two year study linking rising unemployment to increased male personal crisis reports and suicides. They find a 1 percent jobless rise could trigger about 318 additional suicides annually, with men aged 15 to 34 most affected as earnings lag and high expectations collide. They note the effect on women could grow if unemployment remains high, as jobs become a larger life factor.
