This is the result of laws that raised the retirement age—even for those in high-risk occupations like truck driving, endangering both themselves and others. • Foreign Workers: 124 registered foreign workers lost their lives. • Gender: Fewer women die directly on-site, but commuting fatalities (in itinere) among women are almost equal to men due to the double burden and stress of balancing work and family life.
