High death rates of Korean men in their forties had been recognized by researchers and the public as well. Little explanation, however, was attempted systematically. This study was to explore the high death rates of men in the age of forties and relevant socioeconomic and cultural factors in the context of industrialization of the Korean society. In results, death rates of these men were found to be higher than the crude death rates since 1960s and the ratio of men"s death rate to women" s kept to increase. High death rates of the target population were highlighted through the periods of industrialization up to this date. According to 1998 death statistics, death rates of men aged forties were significantly relevant to their sociodemographic characteristics such as marital status, educational level and occupational status. Unmarried men with low educational and occupational levels in lack of social resources were found to be a vulnerable group to death. Three main causes of death were distributed in the order by disease, accidents or addicts, suicide. The first reason of death by disease was cancer. The high death rates of men in their forties were interpreted in terms of social demands, men" s psychological strains of patriarchal responsibility, their culture of drinking and smoking in the rapidly developing and competitive Korean society.
