The current crisis of capitalism has multiple economic, financial, social, environmental, cultural and political facets. In Brazil, the severity of the crisis is no different, resulting from the exhaustion of the neo-developmentalist model and its inability to resist global crisis. This study compares suicide mortality rates (MR) among employed and unemployed persons in Brazil prior to and during the economic crisis using death records from the period 2011 to 2016. The findings show that in the period 2011 to 2016 the suicide MR fell from 2.66/100,000 to 2.46 among unemployed persons and increased from 5.52/100,000 to 6.89/100,000 in employed persons. Suicide is a complex, multi-causal phenomenon determined by a diverse range of social factors, including strategies that increase worker exploitation. Indeed, being employed can have a greater negative impact on the mental health of workers than being unemployed.
当前的资本主义危机具有多重经济、金融、社会、环境、文化和政治层面。在巴西，这场危机同样严重，其根源是新发展主义模式的枯竭及其无法抵御全球危机。本研究使用 2011 年至 2016 年期间的死亡记录，比较了巴西经济危机前后就业和失业人群的自杀死亡率（MR）。研究结果表明，在 2011 年至 2016 年期间，失业人群的自杀 MR 从 2.66/100,000 下降到 2.46/100,000，而就业人群的自杀 MR 从 5.52/100,000 增加到 6.89/100,000。自杀是一种复杂的、多因的现象，由多种社会因素决定，包括增加工人剥削的策略。事实上，就业对工人心理健康的负面影响可能比失业更大。
