Japanese kids' mental health ranks 32nd among developed
nations

Children in Japan continue to suffer poor mental health,
with the country ranking 32nd among 43 developed and
emerging nations due to high suicide rates and other
factors, a UNICEF report released Wednesday showed.

The country improved from 37th in 2020 when the ranking
was last published, although this time the suicide
rate among Japanese youth was the fourth highest among
wealthy states surveyed, worsening from 12th.

In contrast, Japan topped the list on physical health,
unchanged from the previous corresponding report.

The report by the United Nations Children's Fund analyzed
members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development and the European Union under the categories
of mental well-being, physical health, and academic and
social skills.

Japanese youth have been, well, kinda WEIRD for
awhile now. It's a kind of declining nation ...
look up "vegetable people" ... youth, adults,
who can't even bear to leave the house. Their
entire existence is online, fantasies. The
birth rate is WAY bad, unsustainable. Some
version of "Handmaid" may be necessary for
the literal survival of the country/culture.
Sorry, but it's THAT bad now. S.Korea is in
the same doom-basket. USA/EU, soon.
