Suicide Statistic

Gender Disparity:

Like many other countries, Vietnam sees a significant gender difference in suicide rates.

Men tend to have higher suicide rates than women, which is consistent with global trends.
Women may attempt suicide more frequently than men, but men are more likely to complete the act, possibly due to the methods
used.

Age Groups:

Youth (15-29 years old) Suicide is a leading cause of death among young people in Vietnam, particularly for those facing social, academic, or economic pressures. The country’s growing youth population is increasingly at risk, especially in urban areas.
Elderly (60+ years old) Elderly people in Vietnam also exhibit elevated suicide rates, often due to isolation, loneliness, health problems, or the breakdown of traditional family structures.

Age Groups:

Mental health issues, especially depression and anxiety, are significant contributors to suicide in Vietnam, though awareness and access to mental health services remain limited.

Suicide is still stigmatized in many parts of Vietnam, and discussing mental health issues is often considered taboo. This social stigma can prevent individuals from seeking help or support.

Geographical Differences:

Suicide rates vary significantly across different regions of Vietnam

Northern mountainous provinces tend to have higher suicide rates, often linked to poverty, isolation, and limited access to healthcare.
Urban areas, such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, are seeing increasing rates of suicide, particularly among the youth, driven by factors like academic pressure, job insecurity, and the stress of urban living.
