With approximately 11.5 thousand cases, unemployed people in Japan showed the highest number of committed suicides in 2023. That same year, almost 8.9 thousand employed people in the country committed suicide.
The country's suicide rate had shown a steady downward trend over the past decade but began to rise again in 2020. The unexpected upward trend was likely to be connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.
