- wpietri 8y agoThat reminds me that The Economist had some interesting material on suicide rates recently: https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2018/11/30/why-the-global-suicide-rate-is-falling https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2018/11/30/... In some countries there has been a huge fall in the suicide rate for women. It seems to be correlated with increasing opportunity and independence.
