Youth Suicide Rate

Singapore's youth suicide rate showed little sign of dropping in 2013 as a charity group on Wednesday blamed a widening "disconnect" with family members in the prosperous, hi-tech city state.

The suicide rate among young South Koreans dipped slightly in 2012, government data showed on Monday, offering some encouragement to official efforts to address a long-standing problem in Asia's fourth-largest economy.

Young Indians are more likely to commit suicide than previously thought, especially those living in wealthier and more educated regions, according to a study on Friday that experts say suggests India's rapid development is driving many youths to despair.
