We analysed recent suicide data to identify who has been most affected and the relationships to economic and labour market indicators. We found a clear increase in suicides among persons of working age, coinciding with austerity measures. These findings corroborate concerns that increased suicide risk in Greece is a health hazard associated with austerity measures.
