Nowadays, many people spend less and less time at home. What are the causes of this? What are the effects of this on individuals and on the society?

#people #time #home #effects #individuals #society
In recent times, people continue to spend less and less
time
 at
home
. Some responsible factors are industrialization and increasing workload. They
also
 have their accompanying effects on individuals and the society as a whole. One of the reasons is increasing work load, especially among the working class in corporate organizations. Due to the need to deliver, people are in constant struggle to meet up with deadlines and deliver quality results.
This
 has made many people spend a lot of times outside their homes working. Some organizations offer to pay workers who are willing to give extended hours. Another reason is industrialization. With industrialization comes with many opportunities.
This
 makes people migrate to industrialized areas.
This
 has caused congestion in most industrialized cities. In cities like Lagos
for instance
, where the major system of transportation is by road, commuters spend a lot of
time
 in transit, and
this
 makes them leave their homes early and come back late. Some would rather sleep outside their homes to avoid traffic delays. People who do not spend enough
time
 at
home
 are disconnected from their families,
therefore
, a lot of people miss out on the important periods of their kid's development. An example is a family where both parents are in full
time
 employment. Another way to look at it is the creation of employment for people in the society. Because people spend less
time
 at
home
, they employ care givers to take care of their kids. Thereby helping employment in the society.
Also
,
this
 can affect the productivity of some individuals. People rest more comfortably in their homes,
as a result
, get well recharged. And some researchers have linked resting to productivity. People who relax more after work tend to be more productive. In conclusion,
although
 spending less hours at
home
 has its bad effects, there are some good sides to it. People will generally appreciate staying more in their homes than they do now.
