[OC] Suicide Rate vs GDP per capita for various countries. Notice that the upper right triangle is almost empty i.e. generally increase in GDP per capita results in decrease in suicide rates.FarCommon408 t1_iskmp8u wrote
These data seem to be wrong, is this GDP per capita or GDP PPP per capita ? I don't know but in my humble opinion posts like these which are not clear should be taken down and remade.

It clearly says 'GDP per capita', and I have also commented with the source of the data, in accordance with the rule of the subreddit. What's not clear?
Although, I agree with you that GDP PPP per Capita would definitely be a more sensible metric.

It's GDP PPP per capita then.

Ah. I checked the comment and the graph again, yeah indeed I have plotted GDP PPP per capita, not GDP per capita.
Yeah, sorry for the confusion. This is totally my fault. The y axis should be GDP PPP per capita. And thanks for pointing out the inconsistency.

I suggest you to try also GNI PPP per capita as an indicator, it might be a better indicator, If I knew how to do these kind of graphs I would it myself, but I don't know.

I will do this, assuming I will be able to access this data for all the countries somewhere. If you'd like to play with this stuff let me know, I would be happy to opensource the code and data on GitHub or somewhere

The problem is that I am not a coder otherwise I would accept. If you want GNI PPP per capita data you can find it on the world bank website. I suggest you to use GNI PPP per capita (constant 2017 International $) with 2019 data since the new data are not widely available yet.

No probs. Thanks for sharing the link. I will do it this weekend. (Have been out of town due to work so don't have access to the personal laptop)
