Abstract

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the significant impact of work on an individual's physical and mental health. Factors such as job insecurity, long working hours, and increased use of technology have contributed to the changing landscape of work-related health issues. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges, highlighting the importance of health and safety in the workplace. Employers are increasingly focusing on employee well-being, implementing wellness programs, flexible work arrangements, and mental health support. Remote work, accelerated by the pandemic, has reshaped the traditional office environment, raising questions about work-life balance and the potential long-term effects on health. At the same time, disparities in access to healthcare and the social determinants of health continue to influence the health outcomes of workers. Vulnerable populations, including low-income and gig economy workers, face unique challenges in maintaining their health while navigating precarious employment situations. This abstract underscores the need for ongoing research and policy efforts to better understand and address the intricate relationship between work and health in today's labour markets.
