Health minister Elisabeth Lann (KD) describes the high sick leave in the healthcare sector as a failure and is now calling a crisis meeting with unions and employers. Sick leave is highest in female-dominated professions such as care, elderly care, and school, with three out of four stress-related illnesses affecting women, according to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's report.
Une étude financée par le National Institute on Aging aux États-Unis conclut que les interactions avec des personnes problématiques accélèrent le vieillissement biologique.

Government social workers in Hong Kong supporting survivors of the deadly Tai Po fire are struggling to manage their indefinite duties, with poor communication on aid plans adding to their heavy workloads. Several social workers, including a union leader, told the South China Morning Post they need clarity from authorities on roles and duties to better handle public expectations and get help from agencies like the Housing Bureau. The call for support follows the death of a social worker under the one social worker per household initiative, who collapsed on the street in late January.
