In 2020, the South Korean government's budget for suicide prevention amounted to about 29 billion South Korean won, up from about 23 billion South Korean won the year before. The budget for suicide prevention programs has steadily increased in recent years, but is still considered insufficient. The suicide rate in South Korea has been one of the highest in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) since 2003 (ranked first in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2019). In 2020, the suicide rate in South Korea reached 25.7 deaths per 100 thousand population.
