Young males between the ages of 10 and 24 have committed suicide in growing numbers as a direct result of austerity measures brought in across Europe following the 2009 recession.
According to new research from the University of Portsmouth and Webster Vienna University, more males of all ages are committing suicide in the Eurozone's poorest countries.
The researchers, Dr Nikolaos Antonakakis and Professor Alan Collins, are urging policy makers to put European citizens' health before wealth as a matter of urgency.
The research is the first to examine the direct impact of fiscal austerity on suicide rates in the group of countries most affected by the Eurozone crisis - Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
