Around the globe, work stress has become a common problem, almost inevitable. American women hardly have a choice and need to juggle 40-hour workweeks with housework, family responsibilities and other social commitments all along trying to maintain a healthy personal life. Hyper busy, 24x7 multi tasking keeps women constantly on the edge. Other nations with increased stress levels include mainland China, Philippines, Botswana, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa and Poland. Meeting deadlines, striving to hit sales or production targets, or building client base, the demands of jobs and the response of the individual’s body and mind seem to vary.
