How many people commit suicide in Japan on average?

According to the Statistics Portal, from 2008 to 2017 the number of men who committed suicide in Japan, per 100,000 people, was as follows: 36.6, 37.6, 35.8, 33.7, 31.1, 30.3, 28.1, 27, 24.5, and 24. The number of women who committed suicide during these same years in Japan, per 100,000 people, was as follows: 14.3, 14.3, 14.3, 14.8, 13.1, 13, 12.3, 11.3, 10.4, and 10.

Clearly, Japanese men commit suicide in rates almost three times higher than women. But, thankfully, the rates are going down and will hopefully continue to do so.
