[QUOTE="911, post: 1240993, member: 11221"] The opposite is true, there is a strong link between suicide rates and economic precariousness. [URL]https://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/files/wp07-12bk.pdf[/URL] Social misery and suicides go up significantly in areas hit by economic depressions. As well affluent young people are marrying at greater rates than economically disadvantaged ones. People in stable family situations are happier and less likely to commit suicide. Material affluence is not the issue, if anything, it is a positive factor. It's a bit more complicated than that, social problems started with the Boomer generation in the 60s, they were victims of social engineering which made them reject the traditional society they grew up in. Two generations later, you have young women leading empty lives getting depressed. [/QUOTE]
