Brazilian Columnists Emphasize Work's Impact on Physical and Mental Health

Columnist Maria José Tonelli argues that work can be a source of physical, mental and social well‑being, noting that employment keeps people active, socially engaged and financially supported. She also warns that job loss or excessive work can lead to illness, violence and social suffering, especially as AI‑driven layoffs increase.

Both articles highlight practical steps to improve health through work and everyday activity.
