Abstract
The author investigates the relationship between the divorce rate and the national suicide rate in Canada during the period from 1950 to 1982. During this phase of recent Canadian history both divorce and suicide rates have followed ascending trends....It was found that in Canada the national rate of suicide varies directly with the rate of family dissolution even after the effects of unemployment and females participation in the labor force were taken into account simultaneously. It was anticipated that unemployment and suicide would be directly associated; however the results in this study fail to confirm this prediction for the nation as a whole but among relatively young cohorts there is indication that for men unemployment is positively related to suicide mortality.
