Introduction

Most of these work-related fatalities, totalling 2.6 million deaths, stem from work-related diseases. The Asia and the Pacific region has the highest work-related mortality (63 per cent of the global total) because of the size of the region's workforce.

ILO, jointly with World Health Organization (WHO), estimated that the exposure to long working hours linked to approximately 750,000 deaths in 2016 at the global level. WHO further estimates that 12 billion working days are lost every year due to depression and anxiety, costing the global economy nearly one trillion US Dollars.
