Mulboyne wrote:It's difficult to make direct comparisons because there is no equivalent local population doing those kinds of jobs. That's one reason the scheme exists. Also, I don't think trainees work so much in construction or sewage jobs, which have a high incidence of industrial accidents, sometimes fatal. They are mainly in factories and agriculture.
I do recall seeing a Mainichi piece last year (no link) suggesting that trainee risks were ten times what they ought to be but there didn't seem to be any hard data for that claim and I don't know if it was based on the number of recorded accidents.

However, I'm with wuchan in that the hours mentioned in the article don't seem to be enough to make a heathly young man drop dead and I wonder if there were some other issues like a congenital heart condition. Of course most people I know who work those kinds of hours are in white collar jobs which don't take the same kind of physical toll as labor does.

Do people perhaps think that if only someone had told Jiang to "man up" then he might still be alive?
