Women who go to work get health warning

Experts say hours spent at a desk while juggling the pressures of office and family life are leading to disease, stress and even cancer for the new generation of professional women in China. But perhaps a little exercise three times a week could help, as Zheng Xin reports.

China's workforce has changed rapidly over the past few decades, with the number of women who go out to work steadily rising.

Since many women continue in paid employment while juggling their responsibilities as mothers and carers, researchers are finding that work-related health problems are posing a severe threat to the professional female.
