Suicides among working women in Japan rose about 30 percent during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, with approximately 1,698 women committing suicide last year, compared with an annual average of 1,323 between 2015 and 2019, a government white paper revealed on Nov. 2.
The highest rate of suicide among working women was among “employees who worked in offices, provided health care, or furnished other kinds of services,” according to the report, which was quoted by The Japan Times.
