Смерть от работы.

Три года назад впервые обратил внимание на изнанку китайского экономического чуда - смерти от переработок: Новая китайская эпидемия - смерть от переработок.

Прошло три года и китайские СМИ сообщают следующее новости с "экономических фронтов" - University student's death highlights unhealthy overtime culture in China, again

While most people across the country were ushering the Chinese Lunar New Year, a university student was struggling for life after ending up at the hospital for working overtime.

The 22-year-old junior from Hebei University was working part time at a semiconductor company in Tianjin but was reportedly working up to 15 hours on a daily basis for days since taking the job on January 12.

According to a Weibo post released on Tuesday by Yuan’s sister, Yuan had suddenly collapsed in the factory's washroom during a break on her 16-hour shift. In a video footage, she was seen vomiting blood and was later declared dead at a local hospital on January 30.

A 2014 report on China’s labor market shows that up to 90 percent of Chinese workers were working more than 40 hours a week. According to reports on several Chinese media, an estimated 600,000 Chinese are working to death annually, which means some 1,643 people die every day as they work under extreme physical and psychological pressures.

Если верить прикидкам, то в Китае от переработок каждый божий день умирает по полторы тысячи человек, что в годовом исчислении дает цифру в шестьсот тысяч человек - т.е. каждый год в Китае от работы умирает целый город Томск.
