人口迁移与近代青岛自杀率的下降

The Effect of Population Migration on the Decline of Suicide Rate in Qingdao in the Early Years 20^(th) Century

随着政权的更迭,近代青岛的自杀人数整体上不断增多,但自杀率却出现了一个明显下降的趋势。究其原因,主要受人口迁移的影响。一方面,自第一次日占青岛之后,受良好城市环境的吸引,大量人口迁移青岛,造成青岛市人口总数的极速膨胀,对自杀率有一定的"稀释"作用。另一方面,农村女性移民进入青岛,不仅参加工作,经济相对独立,能够分担家庭经济责任,家庭地位有所提高,而且脱离了既往的大家庭制度,减少了家庭纠纷,导致女性自杀率下降,进而带动近代青岛整体自杀率的降低。

The changes of regimes and rulers in Qingdao coincide with a social paradox in the early years of 20 th century,on one hand, the number of suicides in increased dramatically, on the other hand, the suicide rate show a trend of dramatic decline. This paper explains this paradox by population migration. The occupying by Japanese create a modern development environment in Qingdao and large number of population were attracted to migrate into Qingdao,which brought to a fast expansion of the total population size to dilute the suicide rate. On the other hand, the increasing immigration of rural females deduct the female＇ s suicide rate, because they began to enjoy the rights to work, to have their own salary to support the family survival, which liberate them out from the obsession of traditional large family and the family conflicts.
