Working 55 hours or more per week is a serious health hazard: WHO
The World Health Organization said on Monday that long-term work is killing hundreds of people a year in a deteriorating trend that could intensify due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
In the first global study of the loss of life associated with prolonged work, the paper in the International Journal of the Environment showed that in 2016, 745,000 people died from a stroke and heart disease associated with prolonged work.
This was an increase of about 30% since 2000.
“Working 55 hours or more per week is a serious health hazard,” said Maria Neira, director of the WHO’s Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health.
“What we want to do with this information is promote more action, more protection of workers,” she said.
A joint study conducted by WHO and the International Labor Organization showed that most of the victims (72%) were male and were middle-aged or older.
It also showed that people living in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific – a WHO-defined region that includes China, Japan, and Australia – were the most affected.
Overall, the study – based on data from 194 countries – states that working 55 hours or more a week has a 35% higher risk of stroke and 17 deaths from ischemic heart disease compared to 35-40 hours.
The study covered the period 2000–2016, and therefore did not include the COVID-19 epidemic, but WHO officials said the global economic slowdown as a result of increased remote work and the coronavirus emergency increased the risk.

Husband Mark Zuckerberg fulfils ‘disco queen’ Priscilla Chan’s demand for a party and how
Mark Zuckerberg’s party for Priscilla Chan has won people over. Many were surprised by the tech billionaire’s makeover.
Mark Zuckerberg never shies away from sharing glimpses of his sweet and heartwarming moments with his family. From sharing pics of a statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan, to turning into a nail artist for his daughter, he regularly posts visuals which wow people. In a similar post, he shared pictures to show what he did when his “disco queen” wife asked for a party.
“Disco queen wanted a party,” Zuckerberg wrote as he posted the pictures. The first photo shows the couple sharing an intimate moment while kissing each other. The other images show them enjoying the party, with both dressed in shimmery clothes.
What did social media say?
“I always knew you were this cool,” posted an Instagram user. “He changed after attending Ambani’s wedding,” joked another. This has been a viral remark after Mark Zuckerberg’s recent wardrobe update, including Hawaiian shirts and a thick gold chain, which coincidentally happened after he attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s first pre-wedding festivities.
“Absolutely enjoying this beautiful life,” commented another. A third expressed, “Zuck’s glow up needs to be studied in universities.” A fourth shared, “Couple goals!”

Roman-inspired statue
A few days ago, the Meta CEO unveiled a giant statue in his backyard. Created by Daniel Arsham, it is a larger-than-life statue of his wife.
He met Priscilla Chan at Harvard University in 2003 as a student. The couple later got married in 2012. They have three daughters: Maxima, August (born August 2017), and Aurelia.
