Courts in Japan have recently begun to make awards to the families of workers who have been judged to have been "worked to death." That is, employers have been increasingly required by courts to make large financial payments to the heirs of workers whose hours of work have been so long that they are judged to have played a role in causing their death. Use economic theory to analyze the likely labor-market effects of the growth in these awards, assuming that the wages in these jobs stay constant.
