We at Foxconn would like to apologize to any tourists or visitors of Foxconn if you see someone jump from a building and try to kill themselves. We would like you to know that if caught by the nets they will be disciplined accordingly and you probably won't ever see them again.

However, if you have an interest in the suicide rates at Foxconn, an article was written by Tom Foremski where he states that the "World Health Organization suicide figures for China (1999) are 13 males and 14.8 females per 100,000 people. Elderly (65+ years) suicide rates can be as much as 50% higher than youth (18 to 24 years), which means Foxconn’s suicide rate, with its younger workforce, should be significantly below the national average. Let’s estimate an average of 10 suicides per 100,000 at Foxconn. Just the Shenzhen Foxconn plant alone, with its 330,000 employees, would be expected to have about 33 suicides this year, or 14 so far.Foxconn has had just 10 suicides this year, and that’s across its entire workforce.

According to these statistics people should have nothing to worry about. Even though we cause enough stress that our workers want to kill themselves only ten of them have died in 2010 and the number's been generally consistent over the years.
