After quickly analyzing the most developed countries (HDI >0,8), I noticed that grouping countries according to some culture related patterns is quite easy. More analysis should be done (by someone else), but seems, that suicides have more to do with culture than development. Some cultures are able to handle development better, some – worse.

Where: Countries with HDI > 0,8

Seems like not really. Look, there are high rates among less developed countries, and low rates among more developed ones. What is clearly visible – it’s the higher distribution among well-developed countries!

Seems like yes. First world problems – they might be real!
