Abstract EN
Suicide is a global public health burden, causing around 700,000 deaths annually along with many more non-fatal suicidal behaviours (World Health Organization, 2021). This is translated into the global age-standardised suicide rate at 9.0 per 100,000 population for 2019 (World Health Organization, 2021). Importantly, suicide is gendered. Despite women exhibiting a greater prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviour, men are more likely than women to die by suicide (Canetto & Sakinofsky, 1998; Beautrais, 2002; Canetto & Cleary, 2012; see also Milner et al., 2020). Globally, the age-standardised suicide rate was 1.8 times higher in men than in women. At the time of writing, the imbalance between male and female suicide rates is higher in high-income countries and is close to 3, while the ratio is more equal in low- and middle-income countries. The only countries where the suicide rate is currently estimated to be higher in women than in men are Bangladesh, China, Lesotho, Morocco, and Myanmar (World Health Organization, 2021; see also: Canetto & Chen, 2020).
