Its authors, led by David Stuckler, University of Oxford (UK), shown in the last message ‘The Lancet’ that unemployment increases similar to those recorded this year in the past caused peaks rise in the number of people they took off the life or committing murder.

Researchers who analyzed data from 26 countries of the European Union dated from 1970 and 2007, also found that increases in unemployment were related also to a significant reduction in the number of road accidents.

Specifically, their data showed that, with every 1% increase in unemployment figures, growing 0.8% the rates of people under 65 who took their own lives and who committed a murder, between 60 and 550 more events. In this particular case, traffic accidents were reduced by 1.4%.

If unemployment soared 3%, suicides also rushed to 4.5%. In addition, there was a considerable increase of more than deaths from alcohol abuse.
Support measures

The authors of this paper found no evidence that total mortality figures were higher in periods with the highest number of unemployed, while noting that countries with social protection systems more settled responded better to the consequences ‘harmful’ unemployment.

“[We found that] employment programs that support and reintegrate employees into a labor activity can mitigate some adverse effects of economic crises on health, these researchers suggest in their work.

In fact, they cite the example of Finland and Sweden, two countries with important social protection systems, which were at the beginning of the 90 strong economic downturns. Although unemployment rates increased significantly, the numbers of suicides declined in both countries. “Our analysis suggests that governments could protect their citizens in a specific way,” they add.

Budgeting measures for people to continue their work, develop initiatives to help those who lose to overcome the situation and enable an early reintegration into working life are some of the ideas suggested by the researchers.

In its conclusions, emphasize that social spending at least $ 190 apiece to support the labor market “could mitigate the effect of unemployment on the number of deaths by suicide, creating a unique opportunity to align the promotion of health investment in the labor field. “

However, recognize that their work has important limitations, which only took into account mortality rates – “which are clearly an incomplete measure of population health” -, or that have only measured the consequences of the crisis short term. “Some effects of the Great Depression only came to light five or seven years after the ‘crash’,” they say.

In addition, point out that certain features of the current crisis, as its rapid expansion and its intensity, makes it difficult for the “lessons from the past” can be extrapolated to the present.
