>Perhaps the fact that 64% of the women were dealing with unemployment suggests a different stressor.

It would be interesting to know the breakdown of voluntary vs. unvoluntary unemployment for the "self-harm" group, and the control group.

It would also be interesting to know if "voluntary unemployment" was due to a family-toxic work-life balance from employers (ie, not choosing to work because working would mean 100% childcare time which may not be offset by the e.g. minimum wage income).
If you are voluntarily out of work, you are not unemployed. The definition includes only those who are seeking employment.
