In recent years, changes in the employment landscape have led many workers to extend their working hours, either due to competitive pressures or at the request of employers. Overtime has thus become a widespread phenomenon in society and has sparked considerable public debate. Despite this, the extent to which this phenomenon has developed, as well as its justification, remain under-explored and warrant further attention and discussion. This paper utilizes data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) to analyze the current state of overtime work in Chinese society. Through this analysis, the study aims to deepen our understanding of the phenomenon of overtime work and inform policy recommendations to improve the employment environment.
