Abstract

Suicide poses a serious challenge on all modern societies and governments are expected to play a major role in its prevention. The previous two chapters showed that policy choices of the government have a crucial influence on the risk of suicide among the population. Yet our measures of policy choices, such as government partisanship in Chap. 7 and economic and welfare policies in Chap. 8 , are not a direct and immediate suicide prevention effort. They were hypothesized to affect the lives of vulnerable population in society and thus their suicidal risks.
