First time I've actually taken the time to look it up. People talk about Japans high suicide rate but apparently it's not that much higher than the United States? So less murder, more food availability and just a slightly higher suicide rate?
Here's another in case you didn't know. People always talk about working in Japan to be brutal and constantly work long hours the entire week.
Data says otherwise. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-work-week-by-country
When people don't have murder, homeless, ramped theft, they need some boogie man metric for the crier to report on.
And for Japan, the marginally higher suicide rate along with low population growth are it.
Of course the low rate of Christianity as well.
