Knock off Wednesday: working 3-day week is best for overs-40s
2 December 2016
Whitehall II findings were cited in a Times article reporting on the benefits of a three-day week for the over-40s.Â
The article, which was reporting the results of an Australian survey of 6,500 participants, referred to Whitehall II data analysis which found that those who worked up to 55 hours a week did worse in a series of cognitive tests than those who generally kept to 40 hours at most. Â Â
