You say you are a Data Scientist, so can you share some analysis? How about some regression work? I am really curious to see some correlations and where they show up. I keep reading all these articles, and they look like they are being written by journalists (random guesses with justifications). I would love to see some real analysis. I know anything with racial differences can destroy one's career, so do not include that variable.
I would include gender because it is strange to see increased female suicides. I have worked with some of that data back in the late 1990's (when I was a student at Cornell, and later Georgetown). Only the People's Republic of China had a female suicide rate higher than males, and in general female suicide rates ten to be very low, and they usually occur among mentally impaired individuals. Seeing that number increase is frightening in and of itself. There does seem to be a real crises in mental health with at least US females. It would be interesting to have some idea why.
Mostly though, it would be nice to see some analysis with some interesting or not correlations. Upper and middle class young men commit suicide. It is an unfortunate aspect of modern life in the West as well as in the developed countries of East Asia. We put a lot of pressure on men, and in multicultural countries the gains of minorities and women have come at the expense of majority men, but we have decided that we want that, so we must accept that consequences. The women are more of a concern. The low birthrates in developed countries are deeply concerning. Increased suicide rates and low birthrates would be a disaster. Perhaps the US could ride it out with increased female immigration, but most other countries simply could not cope.
