In this respect, an assessment is made of the findings of theoretical studies and empirical surveys conducted in several European countries, according to which the increase of unemployment rates, the decline of welfare standards and the deterioration of health conditions (including those related to mental health) are among the main factors associated with the increase of suicide rates in different countries. |
