 st concerns of employment legislation due to its importance for protecting
  workers‘ physical and mental health and maintaining labour productivity
 . We provide new evidence for the causal effect of reduced working hours o
 n mortality using full population register, exploiting exogenous variation
  from a massive nationwide policy in Sweden that reduced the working hours
  from 56 to 48 hours for about 1 in 4 salaried workers. Exploiting variati
 on across occupations using difference-in-differences and event-study mode
 ls, we show that lower working hours decreased mortality by around 20\%, w
 ith effects primarily driven by reductions in heart diseases and workplace
  accidents, and increased longevity of affected workers by around 0.6 year
 s. Our results imply that many lives could be saved worldwide by reducing 
 excessive working hours for labour-intensive occupations.
