people kill themselves after lots of different stressful life events. the reason is that the stress induces depression/ mental dysfunction. the difference between people who do and dont, besides having the information or wisdom to put the situation in context and avoid the stress in the first place, is robustness of mental health. its a mental health issue not a jobs issue.
I think mental health is more stressful nowdays because people have fewer in-person hangout friends outside of jobs+school. So when they lose a job, there is less of a social network to process it with. Just my speculation tho.
its family. everyone is disconnected now so theres nobody to catch you when you fall. this is the way it is in the netherlands but they have excellent social services to make up for it… meanwhile the rest of the world, entering into this way of existing for the first time, doesnt have anything to make up for it. people are just fucked. the times we are living through right now are way harder than anyone appreciates. be strong
