Gender education in the prevention of suicidal behavior among the people of the Arctic Zone
Abstract
Russia occupies one of the first places in the world by the level of children’s and adolescents suicides. In Russia itself, in the number of suicides the northern regions are in the leading position, where mainly small in number people live. The problem of suicide among indigenous people is typical not only for Russia but also for other countries in the Arctic zone, including highly-developed countries, such as Canada and the United States. Suicide worldwide is predominantly «male» phenomenon. An important reason for suicidal behavior is a weakening of the institution of the family – «paternity crisis». The lowest suicide rate is observed in the regions of North and South Caucasus countries, due, apparently, to the development of folk pedagogy of the Caucasus, where the fathers mainly bring up boys.
Thus, an important task in the prevention of youth suicide in the Russian Federation is a gender education, which implies the return of interest in the origins of folk pedagogy and strengthening the institution of paternity.
