Suicides amongst micro-finance customers would be a more appropriate statistic. There are clearly more widespread problems that need to be addressed, but seeing as this behaviour is a consequence of for-profit companies applying First-world credit policies to Third-world customers, i.e., those with no other way to change their financial situation, I consider it irresponsible behaviour on the part of companies who should've known better.
