Some of the previous articles have been more explicit - this does refer to all suicides amongst the employee pool (i.e. not just those occurring actually at work).
- jacquesm 16y agoAh ok, that changes matters considerably, then I'll try to dig up a reference to that. It really needs that context.
- ErrantX 16y agoHmm, the articles today now seem to suggest that it is at the factory. Which does, possibly, cause a different slant - I'm not sure if it is just the wording or... I can't find the article previously that indicated this was an overall rate. So you might be right. Although it's worth considering that this "25" could be 25 of the 70 average and so the actual rate is no higher - the major problem, I guess, is that we only have the stats people want us to know...
- _delirium 16y agoMixture of "stats people want us to know" and "stats you can get" I think-- in China, as in lots of countries, getting accurate statistics on home suicides is tough, because of the stigma attached to it and relative ease of reporting it as something else.
