Male to female suicides ratio in Europe

1. Good on you, Albania. Rather progressive.

2. Hmm, not quite right. Maybe we should institute gender quotas.

3. What might be the reason for high ratios like in Poland?

4. I wonder if there’s more recent maps on the ratio, preferably post-pandemic?
   I would assume things have changed a lot.

   A map of just female ratio from 2019:

5. So if the suicide ratio is 3.0, it means that out of 100 suicides 70% of them are men?

6. I am Émile Durkheim and [I approve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_%28Durkheim_book%29) this message.

7. It is alarming that 3x more male suicides than female suicides is marked with green color.

   It should be red or some other “we don’t accept this situation” color.

8. Repost bot. This is the original https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/5xzwau/male_suicides_to_female_suicides_ratio/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

9. It’s worth mentioning, that this study shows the ratio of **successful** suicide attempts. It’s estimated similar amount of men and women in Poland attempt on ending their lives, but because men in general use more effective methods (e.g. hanging, jumping on rails, and etc.), they die more frequently.

10. Useless data. What should I learn here?

11. Suicide gap entering the chat…

12. Equality!! We need more women to kill themselves /s

13. That shows feminists aren’t right about men lives so easy.
