People Over 40 Should Only Work 3 Days a Week, Experts Say

A study issued in the Melbourne Institute Worker Paper claims that people who are older than 40 performed best at work when they worked three days per week. So, does this mean that older workers could work less efficiently?

According to the Australian study, researchers tried to analyze the cognitive abilities of older workers. As a result, the participants in the study, 3,500 women and 3,000 men, took part in the testing.

The researchers focused on the participant’s abilities such as abstract reasoning, memory, and executive reasoning. In addition, researchers measured their cognitive performance in order to conclude how effective they were at work.

The participants had improved when they worked 25 hours per week. However, their performance greatly reduced when they started working for 55 hours per week. (1)
