In 2020 as well, as per the data, daily wage earners accounted for the highest share of people who died by suicide, with 37,666 such cases recorded, which came to 24.6 per cent of the total figure

Over 26 percent of the people who died by suicide in 2021 were either daily wage earner or those working as ‘self-employed persons’, says a report released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).

In contrast to popular perception, ‘family problems’ and ‘illness’ accounted for most such cases, rather than financial woes or a failed love affair, as per the data.

As per the report, while family problems accounted for 33.2 per cent of such deaths, illness accounted for 18.6 per cent of the cases.

Drug abuse/alcoholism and marital issues accounted for 6.4 per cent and 4.8 per cent of such cases respectively, the report stated.

Highlighting that a total of 1,64,033 deaths by suicide were reported across the country last year, 7.2 per cent higher than last year’s figure, the NCRB report said that more than 37,000 daily wage earners and 18,803 ‘self-employed persons’ died by suicide last year.
