After 15 years of crises and strict monitoring, Greece's labor market is no longer tightly regulated. Employers can now require employees to work up to two hours of unpaid overtime per day, with compensatory rest. Although officially voluntary, many employees are forced to work longer hours without compensation. Greece's lowest minimum wage ranks 15th in the EU, contributing to a situation where employers have increasing power over labor relations. The new six-day work week, effective July 1, 2024, aims to address skilled labor shortages, but concerns about employee rights and labor conditions persist.

As Taiwan's aging population continues to rise, projections indicate that the number of dementia patients in the country will increase from the current 350,000 to 850,000 in the next 40 years. To address this issue, doctors emphasize the importance of nutrition and warn that deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folic acid can lead to early dementia. They suggest that proper nutrition, control of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, healthy eating, good sleep, and early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent or improve the condition. Specifically, rapid weight loss can be an early sign of cognitive decline and dementia progression. Women have a higher prevalence of dementia due to longer lifespans and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared to men. The article also highlights the importance of early detection and treatment to delay disease progression, maintain patient function and quality of life, and reduce caregiver stress, with the Ministry of Health and Welfare recommending seeking consultation and referral services for dementia cases through designated care centers or by calling 1966 for long-term care information.
