Dear journalists,

On Monday, May 17, WHO and ILO will publish estimates, covering the period between 2000 and 2016, on deaths caused globally from heart disease and stroke attributable to long working hours.

A paper to be published in Environment International breaks new ground and systematically analyses and quantifies the disease burden of long working hours. The paper also highlights some key recommendations.
