I wonder how Geneva will deal with lowered suicide rates. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-suicide-wages/high...

The first sentence there says that states that increase their minimum wage see suicide rate growth.

Suicide rates grow more slowly in states that increase their minimum wage, according to a U.S. study that suggests this might be one strategy for curbing deaths by suicide

It implies rate growth is common, but higher wage reduces that growth
