Japan has one feature, which cannot be deemed inherent in an advanced country, actual working hours of the people. International comparative data suggest that working hours in Japan are conspicuosly long for a country generally considered to be advanced. As shown in figure 1, quite a few workers in new zealand, the USA, autralia and the UK said to be strongly governed by the pricnciples with a relatively low porportion of their workers doing long hours are seen in continental europe, where political parties represention labor have traditionally been influential, placing checks on the principles of the market economy from the social point of view. In Japan, on the other hand, the proportion of workers doing long hours is much larger than in those countries where market principles are firmly rooted. By now, the japanese term, "karoshi (death from overwork)", is widely recognized throughout the world. Partly thanks to relaxation of the certification requirements for workers' compensation insurance, an increasing number of cases have been brought to court and recognized as death from overwork in recent years. Such cases have also been reported in the U. K. and the U. S. A. : thus overwork does not seem to be a problem unique to japan, but there is perhaps, no other country suffering so seriously from the problem.
