FIGURE 7.1 Recession and Austerity Increase Italy’s Economic Suicides and Suicide Attempts6

Since the nineteenth century, it has been known that recessions and unemployment correlate with significantly greater risks of suicide. With advances in data collection, public health researchers and sociologists were able to establish that unemployment is a major risk factor for depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, and self-harm. Losing a job can tip a person into depression, especially in people who lack social support or are alone. People who are looking for work are about twice as likely to end their lives than those who have jobs.7
