To individuals, working for longer hours triggers at least two issues. It is not only to damage personal relationship, particularly with family, disrupt social lives and impede communicate activities, but
also
 to cause a feeling of depression, a psychological disturbance
that is
 suffered by many job holders. It
also
 tends to exert pressure on the employment market and make fewer job vacancies. The highest proportion of unemployment is expected to cause even higher stress for people in the labour force. To cooperate, working incessantly,

Therefore
, employers have no choice but to spend much more on recruiting and training new employees. For a country in general, it has chronic impacts which are preventing the optimization of resource use natural resources and human capital.
