Elders need better protection, that is a lot of dead people at work
Of the 588 workers who died, 550 were men and 38 were women
That’s a healthy gender gap

Yesterday I saw an old guy smoking a cigarette while welding next to kitchen gas tanks.
Just sayin

15 times as many dying. Yeah, but they were probably being paid 10 nt an hour more.
Taiwan females care more about their health than Taiwanese men.
Need increase the price on cigs

I’d guess it’s more down to the nature of the work.

Those are also work-related deaths, and the women have alternative ways to get money. Like marrying men who have dangerous jobs.
Also, victim blaming.

Huh. You want men to work hard, make money and and support their women,; you also want them to take care of their health? Above all else?
Anything else?
Btw, are you married?

The construction industry recorded the highest number of fatalities, with 305 deaths, which accounted for 51.87% of the total. The manufacturing sector followed with 116 deaths, or 19.73%.
Transportation and warehousing reported 31 fatalities, while both the water supply and pollution remediation sector and the wholesale and retail trade each recorded 21 deaths.
Yep, it is the cigs
Worth noting the data are about middle-aged and senior workers - so it’s for everyone age 45 and above. While I’m definitely not young, I don’t like to think of myself as an “Elder worker” just yet.
I’m not sure how useful the numbers are anyway without more context. Yes, number of fatalities has gone up; but has the number of workers in those demographics gone up or down? How does it compare to people at younger ages?

I’d guess fewer young people moving into hard labor, and the workforce there aging up

What is a man’s function in life (I say support the family). So it’s better the man lives longer but I hope women hope people live longer because they care about them. And I am not married.

Procreation.
For whom?
I’d rather be King Lear, blind, crazy and free than living out some selfish women’s fantasy life.
Been married for 25 years, btw.
But, he was wearing a mask and safety flip flops so…

Probably a smoker, so…
Well then, Taiwanese men are doing a poor job if that’s man’s main function.

Yes. Taiwanese lifetime sexual partner number is 6, compared to Japanese who have 10+, its low so can improve and normally men take the lead? (Women can too, but seems scare men)
linko, 2025 data
Numbers of partners has little to do with procreation. Women also have abortions, so the lack of children isn’t solely the fault of overworked men.
