Abstract

Abstract Using a sample of 18 industrialized nations, the present study found that the suicide rate of those nations was related to both the birth rate and the proportion of females in the labor force. The homicide rate of the nations was related to the gross national product per capita, the birth rate, and the proportion of females in the labor force. These results were examined for their fit with predictions from Durkheim (1951), Gibbs and Martin (1964), and Morselli (1882).
