develop theory of structural economic factors explaining suicide and homicide rates

[kayfisher]

high homicide rates in middle income countries could be explained by these countries being a process of disruptive social transition - alongside high inequality. expressed in more violence against others, crime etc

high suicide rates in high income countries with relatively low inequality could be explained by socially disruptive structural and competitive factors being internalised into self-blaming, anxiety, depression among groups of people (eg young people, structurally unemployed blue collar workers or farmers) who are not meeting their (socially derived) expectations of themselves. eg could include factors explored in fertility research eg education by gender, proxies like marriage

need to investigate/theorise on what kind of relationship these factors have in low income, high inequality countries...
