In 2023, women in their twenties were the most likely to commit suicide related to work-related issues in Japan. A total of 111 women between the ages of 20 and 29 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.
