Abstract

Using crude suicide rates, Lester reports that occupational segregation and gender egalitarianism are not significantly related to the sex differential in suicide rates, male suicide rates, and female suicide rates in 24 countries. Using a gender-age standardized version of Lester's data, occupational segregation is significantly related to all four dependent variables, and gender egalitarianism is significantly related to two of the four dependent variables.
