 note = {Karoshi (death from work exhaustion) has been subject of several studies in Japan in the recent years. The health ministry reported 93 cases of suicides or attempted suicides directly linked to work pressure in 2015, but the national police agency declared that work was partly responsible for 2,159 suicides in 2015. In this sense, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe proposed, together with the main Employers ' (Keidanren) and Workers' (Rengo) unions in Japan, to establish a legal limit of over 100 hours per month. Although such a measure may be considered by some as a progress in the history of Japanese labor law, since there is currently no limit to the law, this proposal has been harshly criticized. This is because it is too much above the 80-hour limit established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Welfare as a limit for the configuration of karoshi, and quite close to 105 hours worked monthly by Matsuri Takahashi, the young Dentsu worker driven to suicide by the daily and excessive hours of work. On the other hand, in Brazil, the discussion of the subject is restricted to the sugar cane cutter worker, and there is only few research on other cases concerning karoshi. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the Brazilian and the Japanese Law related to karoshi, mainly the cases analysis in each system, and comment on the difficulties faced by them., Article, 信州大学経法論集 5(ブラジル・日本国際セミナー特集号) : 243-264(2019)},
