How does the GDP Per Capita affect the suicide rate?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) gives an estimate of a country's economic value in its currency.
GDP per capita is the GDP of a country divided by its total population. It effectively gives a measure of the income of an individual on an average.
From the scatter plot below, we can see that as GDP per capita money increases, the suicides per 100k population decreases.
Hence, as income increases suicides decrease, which makes sense.
