RESUMO:

In the last three decades of the 20th century, capitalism experienced a series of historical and social transformations that significantly impacted the world of work. In 2008, a financial crisis broke out in the United States (USA), which ended up undermining many of the financial institutions in this country, and damaging much of the global financial system. One of the outcomes of the global crisis of capitalism is unemployment. Understanding that health is socially determined, many studies have evaluated changes in suicidal behavior related to economic crises and its association with unemployment, mainly. Our study aims to estimate the association between unemployment and suicide among the Brazilian population in the previous period (2011-2013) and during the economic crisis 2014-2016. It is a cross-sectional study, using the death records of the Brazilian population for the period 2011 a 2016. Mortality data were extracted from the Mortality Information System (SIM) of the Ministry of Health (MS), coded according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health-Related Problems, in its tenth revision (ICD-10). The results that the suicide profile of the Brazilian population in the crisis period was similar to the profile in the pre-crisis period, in certain aspects – men and white race/color – and distinct in other – women, age group, race/color, education, marital status and work situation (employed and unemployed). Over the period 2011-2016, trends in Mortality Coefficients (CM) for suicide in employed and unemployed people evolved in such a way that it is possible to identify a percentage increase in the two groups. In both periods, occupations of retiree/pensioner, housewive, agribusiness worker in general, agricultural steering-wheel worker, bricklayer and the student were those with the highest proportions of suicide cases. Our results are not fully aligned with those of the other revised studies. As convergence we can cite the increase in the general suicide rate in the period of crisis, and in particular a greater increase in suicide rates among unemployed when compared to employed people; the risk of suicide in the occupations of housewives and farm workers; the fact that CM by suicide are higher in the indigenous population when compared to other categories of the variable race/color; a higher proportion of suicide cases and a higher risk of suicide mortality among men. However, our findings diverge from studies that found a greater
risk of suicide for businessmen and some high-ranking officials in times of economic crisis. The analysis adjusted by the covariates identified lower chances of suicide among the unemployed in relation to the employed people, both in the pre-crisis period and in the period of economic crisis. Although the results found for the period of crisis presented statistical significance, suggesting the existence of a non-casual association between unemployment and suicide, it cannot be said that the outcome studied suffers effects of unemployment.
