South Korea
Index
Of the almost 5 million workers employed in 70,865 South
Korean factories in 1986, some 142,000 (nearly 3 percent) were so
badly injured that they had to be hospitalized for more than four
days. There were 1,660 workers killed in industrial accidents,
meaning an average of just over four workers died each day. Long
working hours and bad working conditions contributed to high
rates of injury and death.
