Relation between occupation, gender dominance in the occupation and workplace and suicide in Sweden: a longitudinal study by Gun Johansson, Theo Bodin, Anette Linnersjö, Vladimir Carli, Gergö Hadlaczky, Nuria Matilla Santander, Bianca Blazevska

“…For women, borderline increased risk of suicide was found in female-dominated occupations (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 0.95 to 2.40). Finally, men showed a borderline increased risk of suicide in female-dominated workplaces (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 0.94 to 1.81).Conclusions This study found that women in the ‘life science and health professionals’ group and men in the ‘metal, machinery and related workers’ as well as ‘personal and protective service workers’ groups have increased incidence of suicide also when adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, precariousness of the employment relationship, spells of unemployment, previous mental disorders and suicide attempts. …”
