Suicide numbers for person between the age of 50 and 59 years were highest in Japan, reaching 3,618 victims in 2021. While the country's suicide rate has shown a steady downwards trend in recent years, 2020 marked the first time within the past decade that suicide numbers were rising again. The unexpected upwards trend is likely to be connected to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
