Suicide rates in countries throughout the world
Never pays to make assumptions on lifestyles and background, your description fits mine perfectly until recent years. However, quite comfortable now in retirement on the South Coast between Bognor Regis and Shoreham. |
Sorry, but suicide has got absolutely nothing at all to do with the actual data presented in the initial post and is irrelevent, your reasoning and matching up of the two is purely guess work and not even accurate. Especially when you actually look at the figures on that second site you've linked and see that there is actually a whole host of countries with higher rates and just as many with lower rates (if you look at the actual complete list) of suicide than this country and of Norway and Sweden, which essentially and factually nullifies the point your attempting to make.
I never assume, I almost exclusively calculate. I am not right in my calculations 100% of the time or with 100% of my equations, but I have a much higher than average success rate.
Truth be known about suicide rates, is that it would clearly show a far greater swing towards countries with long hours of darkness and higher rates of unemployement, than whether women stay at home or go out and work, even if there is any connection at all to women out working meaning less jobs for men or not, which I have absolutely no idea about and don't care to begin a study of such a thing, it would have no baring at all on the original point of the original post.
The family unit, women's place within it, womens overall place in the world is changing and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it, the ball is rolling at it's own speed and no amount of debate, forwards or backwards thinking, government policy or anything else is going to change the speed or direction of things, because it is simply taking it's natural course and unless the world steps back into a time, where men revert to going out in packs and hunting food for survival and women stay in the cave raising the many offspring adding to the brood, cooking and scratching their arses, well......
