Hiyoshi A, et al. - Researchers used Swedish national register data to determine socioeconomic inequalities in suicide mortality for working-age men and women (aged between 30 and 64 years) over the time. Data included a series of repeated cohort studies with a 3-year follow-up (sample sizes were approximately 3.7 to 4.0 million in each year). Considerable income inequalities in suicide were reported despite universal social security and generous welfare provision, these inequalities have widened particularly in women. They reported steeper rise in women, possibly associated with higher job insecurity and poorer working conditions in the female dominated public sector after the recession. Findings call for additional measures to in proportion to the levels of financial vulnerability in order to reduce health consequences after an economic crisis and widening income inequalities.
