During this phase of recent Canadian history both rates have followed ascending trends....It was found that varies directly with family dissolution even after effects unemployment females participation labor force were taken into account simultaneously. It anticipated would be associated; however results study fail confirm prediction for nation as a whole but among...
Between the early 1970's and 1990's, twelve industrialized nations experienced for first time a narrowing of their sex differences in life expectancy at age zero. In another set countries, differential has not yet reached stage convergence, although some these female advantage appears to be increasing slower pace than ever before. We discuss demographic epidemiologic conditions this new largely unanticipated trend, as well its applied theoretical implications context following questions: (1)...
Over the course of 20th century sex differential in life expectancy at birth industrialized countries has widened considerably favour women. Starting early 1970s, beginning a reversal long-term pattern this been noted some high-income countries. This study documents sustained narrowing measure into later part 1990s for six populations that comprise G7 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, England and Wales (as representative United Kingdom) USA. For Japan, persistence widening...
In the context of Quiet Revolution in Quebec during late 1950s, this article devotes specific attention to widening sex differential suicide rates from 1931 1986. We reconceptualize roles and modernization theory then consider case. argue that can be explained by presence varied integrating regulating structures society for men women. Natural differences between sexes are unimportant explaining lower propensities women than men. also challenge view role expansion will necessarily lead a...
A multivariate methodology is applied to test the hypothesis that provinces with high levels of divorce experience increased rates suicide. Aggregate data for Canadas and territories 1971 1978 provide strong support this prediction thus indicating similarity in patterns United States. The author employs following control variables a multiple regression analysis: percentage population university education Roman Catholic interprovince immigration rate provincial marriage rate. results are...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the risk of upper gastrointestinal complications (UGIC) associated with drug use in paediatric population. <h3>Methods</h3> This study is part a large Italian prospective multicentre study. The population included children hospitalised for acute conditions through emergency departments eight clinical centres. Patients admitted UGIC (defined as endoscopically confirmed gastroduodenal lesions or clinically defined haematemesis melena) comprised case series;...
Abstract During the last two decades some industrialized nations witnessed varying degrees of constriction in their sex gaps overall life expectancy. We investigate this development by paying particular attention to contributions major causes death change difference between 1970 and 1990. The analysis is based on experiences seven nations: Australia, United States, Sweden, England Wales, Portugal, Hungary, Japan. In first four countries gap has been narrowing during twenty years; Hungary...
Indigenous populations in New World nations share the common experience of culture contact with outsiders and a prolonged history prejudice discrimination. This historical reality continues to have profound effects on their well-being, as demonstrated by relative disadvantages socioeconomic status one hand, delayed demographic epidemiological transitions other. In this study aspect aboriginals' situation is examined: mortality between early 1980s 1990s. The groups studied are Canadian...
ABSTRACT: Durkheim hypothesized that suicide varies inversely with the extent of social integration in family, religious, political, and economic life. In this study I examine relationship between three these sources on young Canadians' (aged 15–29) rate for 1971 1981: family (as measured by divorce), religious percent population reporting no affiliation), anomie (unemployment). The findings research provide confirmation hypothesis detachment among is associated increased proneness to commit...
This research provides a comprehensive analysis of suicide differentials among immigrant groups in Canada for the years 1971 and 1981. The overall assessment findings supports Durkheimian proposition that rate immigrants varies inversely with group's degree social integration. Immigrant Catholic religious background (Italians, Portuguese, Irish) have greater levels integration, suffer fewer “shocks” associated migration experience, abilities to provide strong community ties their members;...
A neglected area of sociological investigation is the relationship between ethnic factors and suicide mortality. This paper explores this topic among immigrant-ethnic groups in Canada. Three hypotheses are evaluated: (1) assimilation thesis, which posits that greater degree social groups, rate; (2) community integration explanation, predicts with strong degrees cohesiveness share reduced odds their incidence suicide; (3) socioeconomic hypothesis, accounts for observed differences on basis...
Au cows du XX e siècle, la différence de l'espérance vie entre les sexes dans pays industrialisés a augmenté en faveur des femmes. On remarqué récemment un renversement modèle long terme cet écart certains pays. Canada, 1981 et 2000, cette diminué d'environ deux ans. Une grande partie ce phénomène sexplique par taux mortalité moins élevé chez hommes que celui auquel on se serait attendu rapport aux cardiopathies, cancers poumon, accidents à violence (les suicides non compris). Le changement...
A growing body of research often indicates that immigrant populations in Western countries enjoy a lower level mortality relation to their native-born host populations. In this literature, sex differences are reported but substantive analyses the generally lacking. The present investigation looks at life expectancy with specific reference and Canadian-born Canada during 1971 2001. For these two populations, expectation birth decomposed into cause-of-death components. Immigrants have higher...
Data from Canada for the period 1951-1981 are used to analyze influence of marital status on suicide. "Using a standardization procedure, it was discovered that transition single or widowed married would entail greater reduction in suicide risk men than women. In case divorced status, both sexes benefit equally reducing potential. The analysis further demonstrates only weak support thesis over time there be convergence sex differences potential protective significance marriage risk."
Sustained differences among Canadian provinces in the rate of divorce have been observed for some time but few attempts made to provide a systematic analysis relevance region and migration divorce. This study examines interrelationship between these variables at two times 1971 1978. The results concerning are consistent with hypothesis that regions characterized by high rates population mobility while low experience relatively levels family dissolution. also indicate persisting patterns even...

Social integration theory would view the Stanley Cup of Hockey series as a ceremonial occasion capable promoting temporary drop in incidence suicide. This proposition is combined with key postulate routine activities - that people who share similar backgrounds, lifestyles, and interests are inclined to get together social activities, including this case watching playoff hockey. It proposed context surrounding constitutes Quebec period increased informal interpersonal contact among people,...
The cultural context affects the relationship between women's involvement in labor force and odds of suicide for both men women. In this study, we examine Canada 1971 then again 1981, when conditions were significantly different. Two hypotheses are evaluated: (1) effects married female participation increase risk women, due to relative antipathy society toward force; (2) 1981 decrease sexes, there net positive gains (psychic material) a widespread acceptance paid economy. empirical analysis...
"This study focuses on the relationship between ethnicity and geographic mobility in Canada by examining 1971 census data. Several competing hypotheses are extracted from literature social demography of ethnic minority groups evaluated for their efficacy explaining observed differences mobility. The results a multivariate analysis suggest that causal mechanisms involving ethnic, characteristic factors propensity to move varied interconnected; hence, both demographic characteristics important...
A neglected topic concerning suicide as a sociological phenomenon is the relationship between international immigration and mortality. This study examines association these variables using time series data for period 1950 to 1982 in Canada. The central hypothesis, derived from Durkheimian theory of social integration suicide, that higher rate, rate suicide. Two statistical controls, unemployment age composition, drawn "economic anomie" "social demographic" perspectives respectively were...
Abstract For most people immigration to a new country such as Canada entails positive move and an improvement in life. The many challenges associated with resettlement may, however, lead insurmountable difficulties, stresses conflict for significant number of newcomers. mortality experience immigrants, reflected cause‐of‐death statistics, may provide indication the extent stress their migration experience. This situation is clearly exhibited from suicide, homicide, motor vehicle accidents....
