ANALYSIS OF SUICIDE RATES AROUND THE WORLD USING BIG DATA

By: Mukund Saroch

SUICIDE TERMINOLGY
Suicide, from Latin suicidium, is "the act of taking one's own life". Attempted suicide or non-
fatal suicidal behavior is self-injury with at least some desire to end one's life that does not
result in death.
WHY DO SUICIDES TAKE PLACE?
Factors that affect the risk of suicide include mental disorders, drug misuse, psychological
states, cultural, family and social situations, genetics, experiences of trauma or loss, and
nihilism. Mental disorders and substance misuse frequently co-exist.

LITERATURE SURVEY
Which country sees the most number of suicides in a year??
The most suicidal country in the entire world is by a wide margin Greenland,
after its last decades modernizing transformation from remote colony to
welfare state, with a male-female ratio of 2.99. India, of the South Asia region, is
the greatest contributor to the absolute number of suicide deaths.

This graph clearly shows that the most suicidal country is Greenland.
MALE-FEMALE SUICIDE RATIO IN GREENLAND
The suicide rate in men aged 15–19 (151 per 100,000) was higher than that
in men aged 40 and over (73 per 100,000) but lower than that in men aged 20–
24 (162 per 100,000). The suicide rates for women were lower than for men in
all age groups (44 per 100,000 in women aged 15–19; 94 per 100,000
in women aged 20–24).

SUICIDES IN INDIA

In 2016 the number of suicides in India had increased to 230,314. Suicide was
the most common cause of death in both the age groups of 15–29 years and
15–39 years. About 800,000 people die by suicide worldwide every year, of
these 135,000 (17%) are residents of India, a nation with 17.5% of world
population.
OBJECTIVES / SCOPE OF MY PROJECT:
1. It could be used to anticipate the rate of suicides in different regions of
various of countries.
2. It is valid for descriptive analysis and sneak peak of predictive analysis.
3. It is valid for particular set of compatible attributes

METHODOLOGY
Project will be made using Cloudera working in VMware, i-python-3.6 version.
Working environment will be the Anaconda Distribution (Jupiter Notebook). It
includes data manipulation and visualization libraries such as
1. HDFS
2. Sqoop
3. Hive
4. Pig
5. Business Intelligence
