	Karoshi (Kah-roe-she) - Death From Overwork in Japan
		It was not until the latter part of the 1980s, when several high-ranking business executives who were still in their prime years suddenly died without any previous sign of illness, that the news media began picking up on what appeared to be a new phenomenon.
		This new phenomenon was quickly labeled karoshi (kah-roe-she), or "death from overwork", and once it had a name and its symptoms were broadcast far and wide, it just as quickly became obvious that Japan was experiencing a virtual epidemic.
		Kawahito added that employers generally do not recognize karoshi as job-related, and that since the Ministry of Labor supports the efforts of industry to maintain a high growth rate it works against the interests of employees.

	ILO Encyclopaedia — Sample Record
		Uehata (1989) described karoshi as a sociomedical term that refers to fatalities or associated work disability due to cardiovascular attacks (such as strokes, myocardial infarction or acute cardiac failure) which could occur when hypertensive arteriosclerotic diseases are aggravated by a heavy workload.
		Uehata (1991b) reported that the jobs in karoshi cases were characterized by a higher degree of work demands and lower social support, whereas the degree of work control varied greatly.
		He described the karoshi cases as very delighted and enthusiastic about their work, and consequently likely to ignore their needs for regular rest and so on-even the need for health care.

	LP - Karoshi
		The first case of karoshi was reported in 1969 with the death from a stroke of a 29- year old, married male worker in the shipping department of Japan's largest newspaper company [1].
		Karoshi can be translated quite literally as "death from overwork." The major medical causes of karoshi-deaths are heart attack and stroke, including subarachnoidal hemorrhage (18.4%), cerebral hemorrhage (17.2%), cerebral thrombosis or infarction (6.8%), myocardial infarction (9.8%), heart failure (18.7%), and other causes (29.1%) [2].
		The major approach to research on karoshi was an accumulation of cases and an emphasis on assembling proof of causality on an individual basis.

		Not long ago, a 39-year-old police sergeant, Haruo Okada, captured headlines as a karoshi victim by working double shifts for a month during the enthronement ceremonies for the nation's new monarch.
		There are no reliable figures on the number of victims, but analysts believe that tens of thousands of Japanese become seriously ill or die from overwork each year.
		As the Ministry of Labour defines it, overwork can only be considered a cause of death if a victim "worked continuously for 24 hours preceding death", or "worked 16 hours a day for seven consecutive days leading up to death".

	Karoshi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Karoshi (parola giapponese la cui traduzione letterale e' "morte da superlavoro") e' la parola che si usa in Giappone per indicare chi muore per troppo lavoro, parola che venne coniata per la prima volta nel 1987 e nello stesso momento riconosciuta anche giuridicamente come causa responsabile di morte.
		La morte per karoshi accade sempre più non solo per infarto da stress, ma anche con suicidi e altri tipi di collassi: per esempio c'e' chi si addormenta semplicemente nella metropolitana e non si risveglia più.
		Il karoshi può essere tranquillamente inserito in un nuovo gruppo di sindromi, che i gourika-byou giapponesi chiamano "malattia della razionalizzazione", sindromi che nascono con i metodi produttivi del tardo ventesimo secolo.

	Akta - "sudden death from overwork" :: PLSTW:Ycon.net
		Now, Japan's health ministry has announced that there were 143 cases of karoshi last year, the highest level since it took notice of the problem in 1987.
		And Japanese offices, still largely male-dominated, are notorious for their punishing culture, where hard work is matched by heavy drinking and smoking in the evenings.
		The ministry is also keen to uncover hidden karoshi - those employees who play down their stress in order not to appear weak in front of colleagues.

	KAROSHI - The DJ List
		Although he spent his formative years with an emphasis on classical training, his influences ranged from Motown to Elgar to the Sex Pistols; all of which can be attributed to the eclectic tastes of his parents and siblings.
		While his friends were buying their first Stratocasters and listening to Nirvana: Karoshi was digging through bins at the then-new 611 Records (one of his sisters worked at a tie-dye shop across the street), sneaking into Silk City to catch bands like Jamiroquai or to the Troc to watch Nigel Richards.

		The Karoshi enters the workforce at the bottom, usually by killing and assuming the identity of a lowly mailroom clerk or data entry specialist since Nippon corporations are wary of hiring "outsiders", no matter what their qualifications.
		But in the end, the Karoshi lacks a real "head for numbers", and will never be able to rise to a management position.
		But as is well known in Orrorsh, the flesh is weak, and soonor or later they can not keep up, taking their own lives and often the lives of others as the price of their failure.

		Last year, a Japanese court ruled that suicide could be an instance of karoshi.
		Not Japanese society, the culture or the organization, but the individual who goes along and fails to realize that the choices he or she makes determines the nature and effect of events and circumstances.
		On a larger scale, it’s a reflection of too little appreciation in that particular culture for the value of a healthy balance between work and the rest of life.

		The Japanese are proud of their perseverance, but in recent decades bereaved families and their lawyers have forced the government to acknowledge that too much time on the job can result in karoshi: death from overwork.
		The term karoshi was coined in the early 1980s, when the Japanese discovered that their national work ethic was taking an unreasonable toll.
		In contrast to the West, where the work habits of leaders and top executives are considered hazardous to their health, in Japan karoshi is mainly applied to lower-level employees who are compelled to work too hard.
