I wonder if it’s the same worldwide. I think we here in Europe work fewer hours in a year. And also in the USA the average didn’t like increase substantially in the last years. I’m not sure about this. Sure, it’s become more difficult. But the numbers don’t seem to reflect young people work longer than older generations. On average it seems the other way around.
But I mean if you got the same spare time, just less money… Do you then give up having hobbies? Or have different ones? I’d imagine coding isn’t that bad since you don’t need lots of fancy material goods, just a computer and those got way cheaper.
I can see how someone would be dishartened and then give up contributing to the world. Maybe we see the same dynamics with other voluntary work? I’m not educated on that. It doesn’t feel that bad where I live than I get from reading the news… YMMV. But your numbers are right. And I don’t like that form of neoliberalism and capitalism over people’s lives either.
