Task answer

The balance between working hours and having free time is an important issue. This matter is even more serious when it comes to the young population, as job's pressure in these ages can lead to serious mental and health difficulties later in their life. However, unfortunately, youth in some regions do not have enough free time due to massive pressure from their occupations. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the causes and potential solutions of this problem. One reason for the urge to work longer and harder in young people can be the lack of sufficient support from the government in some countries. For instance, some facilities or services might not be free for public in some countries, such as the lack of free universities, insurance or health-related services. That means youth have to work harder to be able to afford their current and future life. To solve this problem it is for the governments to provide these amenities for them which can happen through increasing taxes. Furthermore, the issue of imbalance between work and leisure, can stem from some specific cultures in some countries. More specifically, in some western countries, it's not very common for parents and families to support their kids after a certain age (usually 18 years old). Hence, in those cultures, youth have to work really hard and even getting employed in more than one job to be able to pay for their bills and their needs. This can clearly result in having less free and personal time. Therefore, one solution is providing educations for the families in those culture to make the importance of supporting their youth more clear for them. Meaning that, they need to know, unlike the past generation, the new one might not be able to support themselves properly until older ages. To summarize, working constantly without having enough break is not only positive, but also can lead to serious health issues. However, the absence of enough support from some governments and families can result in unlimited working hours and later problems in youth. I believe that financially supporting young people until older ages than 18, from both government and parents, can be a good solution to this issue.
