==Karoshi Hotline==
In a 1988 report published by the Karoshi Hotline Network, the majority of the clients who consulted were not workers, but the wives of the workers who had either died because of karoshi or were at high risk of doing so.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Kato |first=Tetsuro |title=The Political Economy of Japanese 'Karoshi' (Death from Overwork) |journal=Hitotsubashi Journal of Social Studies |volume=26 |issue=2 |year=1994 |pages=41–54 |jstor=43294355 }}</ref> This indicated that those who were stressed out by work either did not realize the cause was overwork or were under [[social pressure]] to not express it explicitly or to seek help.

The Karoshi Hotline received the highest number of calls when it was first established in 1988. From 1988 to 1990, there were a total number of 1806 calls received. From 1990 to 2007, the number of calls received per year was lower, but has not shown a clear trend of further decrease.<ref>{{Cite web |title=過労死110番 {{!}} KAROSHI Hotline Results |url=https://karoshi.jp/english/results.html |access-date=2023-01-18 |website=karoshi.jp}}</ref>
