What are the main causes of the high level of depression in Singapore? There was some international comparision that showed our level to be among the worst in the world.
According to this survey in The Wisdom of the Crowd, the top factors are, in this order:
a) High cost of living - 50% voted
b) Fear of losing jobs and high demands of the job - 36%
c) Relationship within the family - 8%
d) High demand from the education system - 4%
e) Gambling and debts - 2%
Once in a while, we read about suicides due to the stress from the education system and from gambling debts, but they account for only 6% of the total.
The most important causes are still the high cost of living and employement issues.
