A set of experiences that leads to the destruction of individual's self-esteem are the main causes of suicide. Socioeconomic factors can be reasons for this event. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of socioeconomic variables on suicide.
A panel data model was used to investigate the impact of socioeconomic indexes on the number of suicides in each province of Iran from 2001-2016. The data of socioeconomic variables were obtained from the statistical center of Iran, and data for the number of suicides in each province were obtained from the forensic science department. The analysis was conducted using estimated generalized least squares method by EViews version 8.
The lowest and highest number of suicides was in 2001 (4.97 per 100,000 populations) and 2004 (5.97 per 100,000 populations), respectively and the average rate of suicide from 2001 to 2013 was 1.01 also unemployment, divorce, and industrialization rates have high impact on suicides for both sexes in <0.05.
Living skills training should be provided to the members of the societies as a short-term plan and in the long-term, improving the economic condition of people should be conduct to reduce the number of suicides.
一系列导致个人自尊受损的经历是自杀的主要原因。社会经济因素可能是引发这一事件的原因。因此，我们旨在调查社会经济变量对自杀的影响。
采用面板数据模型来研究2001年至2016年伊朗各省社会经济指标对自杀人数的影响。社会经济变量的数据来自伊朗统计中心，各省自杀人数的数据来自法医学部门。分析使用EViews 8版本的估计广义最小二乘法进行。
自杀人数最低和最高的年份分别是2001年（每10万人中有4.97人自杀）和2004年（每10万人中有5.97人自杀），2001年至2013年的平均自杀率为1.01，此外，失业率、离婚率和工业化率对两性自杀率的影响均在<0.05水平上具有高度显著性。
作为短期计划，应向社会成员提供生活技能培训，从长期来看，应改善人们的经济状况以减少自杀人数。
