In 2023, the highest case number of suicides caused by work issues was among Japanese working men in their forties. A total of 666 men between the ages of 40 and 49 years committed suicide due to problems related to their working situation.

Occupational sudden mortality, known as karoshi ("death by overwork") is a well-known phenomenon in Japanese society. Besides physical pressure, mental stress from the workplace can cause karoshi. Suicide due to occupational stress or overwork is called karojisatsu ("overwork suicide") in Japan.
