“…In line with previous reports on Korean working population,17 18 we found that managers and senior officials, as well as professional workers, carried a lower risk of suicide during the precrisis period. Members of specific occupations, particularly those in lower-paid roles and job categories (semiskilled and non-skilled workers) and occupations with ready access to lethal methods of suicide (eg, farmers) apparently experienced greater vulnerability 17 19–21.…”

Changes in macroeconomic conditions are tied to population-level suicide risks for employed and unemployed persons. However, these associations vary depending on sex, employment status and occupational roles. In advance of future economic crises, it is important to develop prevention initiatives intended to reach the diverse populations potentially exposed to the adverse effects of sudden economic disruptions.

“…According to our previous study [6], the most vulnerable occupation during periods of economic recession is the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries (AFF) sector, whose employees exhibited significantly higher standard suicide mortality rate (341) as compared with other occupations in Korea [6]. This finding is consistent with the available report from the United States [7].…”

Previous studies on the vast increase in suicide mortality in Southeast Asia have indicated that suicide rates increase in parallel with a rise in unemployment or during periods of economic recession. This paper examines the effects of economic recession on suicidal rates amongst agriculture, fisheries, and forestry workers in Korea. Monthly time-series gross domestic product (GDP) data were linked with suicidal rates gathered from the cause of death records between1993-2008. Data were analyzed using generalized additive models to analyze trends, while a polynomial lag model was used to assess the unconstrained time lag effects of changes in GDP on suicidal rate. We found that there were significant inverse correlations between changes in GDP and suicide for a time lag of one to four months after the occurrence of economic event. Furthermore, it was evident that the overall relative risks of suicide were high enough to bring about social concern.
