Extended work hours in several African countries have become essential due to the economic clime in said regions. Long working hours have both advantages and disadvantages for people, companies, and society at large. While it can increase productivity and economic production, it can lead to some personal complications.

The possibility that extended work hours might spur economic growth is one of the main justifications for them.

Long workdays are a useful tool for companies to fulfill rising demand, especially in rapidly developing nations like those in Africa.

Extended work hours may also enhance productivity and earnings for businesses facing deadline pressure, contributing to the expansion of the national economy.

However, this frequently results in a cost to the workers.

Longer hours might result in short-term productivity improvements, but overworked individuals may face burnout and decreased efficiency in the long run.

This could also lead to increased turnover, absenteeism, and greater healthcare expenditures which could all have a negative impact on businesses.

Studies indicate that working long shifts without enough rest can cause physical health issues.

Due to constrained access to high-quality medical care, health conditions in some African countries with potentially inadequate healthcare infrastructure may develop and have long-term detrimental effects on individuals.

Another area of significant concern is mental health. African workers may experience significant levels of mental stress as a result of hard schedules, unstable employment, and financial strain.
