本文重点研究了20世纪90年代末和21世纪初日本男性自杀率的急剧上升，并确认失业和个人破产是男性自杀率变化背后的相关社会经济因素。个人破产也被证实是女性自杀变异的重要因素。这种关系是通过一个中年群体和一个县的汇总数据分析来确认的。此外，通过将失业原因纳入月度回归，重点研究了失业率与自杀死亡率之间的关系。接下来，我们发现男性自杀变异与一些失业原因的变化之间存在显著的关联。对结果的解释表明，失业保险减轻了男性的失业风险，而不是日本对所报告的原因和/或精神障碍的偏见。
This paper focuses on the drastic increase observed in the Japanese male suicide rate in the late 1990s and early 2000s and confirms unemployment and personal bankruptcy to be the associated socioeconomic factors behind the male suicide variation. Personal bankruptcy is also confirmed to be significant in the female suicide variation. The relationship is confirmed through a pooled data analysis by a middle-aged group and by prefecture. Further, the paper focused on the association between the unemployment rate and suicide mortality by incorporating the reasons for unemployment in the monthly regression. Next, we identified a significant association between male suicide variations and changes in some of the reasons for being unemployed. The interpretation of the results implies that the risk of unemployment among men has been mitigated by the unemployment insurance rather than the bias in the reasons reported and/or mental disorder in Japan.
