Question Description
Excerpt: In a survey from 2016, Singaporeans reportedly worked the longest hours in the world, with the average worker clocking in 2,371.2 hours. The Working Hours Survey conducted by recruitment consultancy Morgan McKinley found that 70 per cent of professionals in Singapore work longer than their contracted hours. Seven in ten people “felt obliged to work longer than their contracted hours”. In addition, 9 in 10 worked these extra hours for free since their employer did not pay them for working late. The downside to long working hours is the risk of developing health problems.
