ABSTRACT

This study investigates social and economic factors influencing suicide rates in 231 South Korean cities, counties, and districts from 2010 to 2015. The results of a panel data analysis indicate that the number of social organizations did not have a significant effect on suicide rates; however, among six types of social organizations, social/recreational organizations showed a strong negative impact on suicide rates, suggesting that not all social organizations equally created social capital that addresses community health problems. Moreover, poverty and income are two strong predictors of municipal-level suicide rates, but municipal governments’ welfare spending was only effective in rural areas.

韩国自杀率的市级决定因素:探索社会资本和地方政府政策的作用

摘要

这项研究调查了2010年至2015年影响韩国231个城市,县和地区自杀率的社会和经济因素。面板数据分析的结果表明,社会组织的数量对自杀率没有显着影响。然而,在六种类型的社会组织中,社会/娱乐组织对自杀率表现出强烈的负面影响,这表明并非所有的社会组织都平等地创建了解决社区健康问题的社会资本。此外,贫困和收入是市政自杀率的两个重要指标,但是市政政府的福利支出仅在农村地区有效。
