"According to a new International Labour Organization report, more than 840,000 people die each year from health conditions linked to major psychosocial risks at work. The report examined how job strain, effort-reward imbalance, job insecurity, long working hours, and workplace bullying contribute to cardiovascular disease and mental disorders."
"The ILO estimates the combined burden from cardiovascular disease and mental disorders associated with those workplace risks is equivalent to a loss of 1.37% of the global GDP each year."
"The overwhelming share of the estimated death toll comes from cardiovascular disease, with the ILO attributing 783,694 deaths to cardiovascular conditions such as ischemic heart disease and stroke, compared with 56,394 deaths linked to mental disorders including depression."
The International Labour Organization report reveals that over 840,000 deaths each year are linked to psychosocial risks at work, including job strain and workplace bullying. These risks contribute significantly to cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders. The report estimates that these workplace-related health issues result in a loss of 1.37% of global GDP annually. While cardiovascular diseases account for the majority of deaths, mental disorders lead to a greater loss of healthy life years, highlighting the severe impact of workplace stress on overall health.
