Union Budget 2025 | Amid a debate over the 70-90-hour work week, the pre-Budget Economic Survey on Friday cited studies that state spending over 60 hours a week at work could have adverse health effects. The survey noted that spending long hours at one's desk is detrimental to mental well-being and individuals who spend 12 or more hours (per day) at a desk have distressed or struggling levels of mental well-being.
