世界卫生组织（世卫组织）和国际劳工组织已经对过度工作的危险发出了严厉警告。他们说，长时间工作正在导致全球数十万人过早死亡。这两个组织分析了生命损失和长时间工作之间的联系。他们的发现令人发指。大约有125万工人因每周工作超过55个小时而遭受中风和心脏病发作而过早死亡。这些死亡病例大多发生在60至70岁的人身上，他们在45岁至74岁之间工作了至少55个小时。研究人员发现，男性占总死亡人数的72%。

世界卫生组织的研究显示，每周工作至少55个小时的人患中风的风险增加了42%，患心脏病的几率增加了19%。研究人员分析了来自154个国家的劳动力的数据。他们研究了从1970年到2018年收集的数据。世卫组织总干事说：“没有一份工作值得冒患中风或心脏病的风险。政府、雇主和工人需要共同努力，就保护工人健康的限制问题达成一致。”世界卫生组织表示，超过9%的工人过度工作。它警告说，情况正在恶化，他说：“大流行病正在加速事态的发展，这可能会助长增加工作时间的趋势。”

英国教育部长加文·威廉姆森宣布了一项价值550万美元的新项目，该项目将在全国40所学校教授拉丁语。威廉姆森表示，拉丁语卓越计划旨在“提高一些”公立学校学生的机会。拉丁语是2000多年前在罗马周边地区使用的一种语言。英国49%的“精英”私立学校教授它，但只有2.7%的公立学校教授它。威廉姆森说：“拉丁语具有精英主义主题的声誉，这是为少数特权阶层保留的，但这个主题可以给年轻人带来很多好处，所以我想结束这种分裂。”他补充说：“拉丁语可以帮助学生学习现代外语。”
