What do we need to do to avoid it?” Those questions were discussed at GLN EC on September, 24^th, 2011.

There were a lot of members concerning about this problem. It was surprised that almost the  participants shared their deep understanding relating to Karoshi. All members agreed that perhaps, the habit of working hard was one of the reasons for Karoshi phenominum.

Especially, in this program, when asked “ Whether have Karoshi appeared in Vietnam or not?”, almost said “no” or “few opportunities to happen”. The interesting questions: “ Karoshi, more advantages than disadvantages, is that right?” “ What has the government done to solve this problem?” were shared in an enthusiatic way.

In conclusion, trying to balance between your work and your life was one of the good way to avoid Karoshi
