Confused

this part stuck out to me:

The report based its findings on the number of people who committed suicide or attempt to whose families received workers compensation for their deaths or injuries.

Under the Japanese labor law, an employer has to pay compensation to employees or their families for work-related accidents, illnesses and deaths. The families of suicide victims fill out applications to receive the compensation, and the government determines their eligibility.

If illnesses or deaths are proven to be work-related, employees or their families can receive a one-time payment or an annual stipend based on his or her base salary.

it makes it look like the people did it so their families could benifit. do you get that out of this?
