Economic instability, income, and unemployment effects on mortality: using SUR panel data in Iran
This study aims to investigate the effects of socioeconomic factors on mortality in Iran. To this end, this research examines how economic instability, income, and unemployment affect mortality using a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) with panel data for 30 provinces in Iran from 2004 to 2019. The results indicate that unemployment and mortality have a countercyclical relationship among the working age-groups 20 –59 but a procyclical pattern among old-age (60+), except for rural mortality. This result is harmonious between employment and age-group mortality. This finding implies that unemployment increases mortality ...

This trend is deleterious because MAID's proponents do not consistently express the meaning and intent of the practice, and the phrase downplays the fact that a provider is participating in the act of death for a patient.
