Stress Detection from Social Media Articles

What’s in it for you?

• Suicide rates galore: Not just raw counts, but percentages of total deaths and standardized rates that account for different population age structures.
• Demographics on deck: Region, country, year, gender, age group – you name it, this dataset’s got it covered.
• Economic insights: GDP, income levels, inflation, employment rates – a treasure trove of socioeconomic indicators to explore their potential links to suicide rates.

Now, let’s talk about those age-standardized rates for a sec:

1. Crude rate per 100,000 people: The raw number of suicides, but it can be a bit misleading since some countries have more elderly folks 👴👵 (who are generally more likely to pass away from any cause).
2. Age-standardized rate per 100,000: This one’s a real gem! It adjusts for age differences between populations, allowing for a fairer comparison of suicide rates across countries or over time.

With both types of rates at your fingertips, you’ll be equipped to dive into global suicide trends with a nuanced understanding.
The data comes straight from the good folks at the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank, so you know it’s legit.
