Countries with long average working hours are economically more successful than those countries which do not work long hours. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#countries #hours #work
Some people put forth the argument that longer working generation contribute economic growth. In my opinion economic success resulting from long
work
 hours comes at a price for families, people’s health and unemployment. I do not agree with
this
 view since it overlooked other factors that leads to success. The most serious effect of working overtime constantly is putting employees’ health at risk and leads to illness. It is difficult for people who
work
 long hours to find
second
 to wind down and do exercise. The more hours employees have to
work
, the more they are at the risk of sickness
such
 as heart disease and diabetes
also
 it renders emotional illness. For illustration, Japan is a country with a long working generation
also
 High suicide rate and mental illness.
Although
, working for a long term apparently has economic profit, it can cause grate material or immaterial costs to a society due to health problems. Another problem is that working overtime may get in the way of people’s relationships with their families. Long past activities do not make friendly family environment. Employees may find it hard to
work
 and spend adequate
time
 with family members. Particularly, women may have to decide against raising children or working long hours. Due to working for a long
time
, some workers may not have sufficient
time
 for romantic relationship and they will be single. To give a clear example, in some countries which are at a high level of economic success, a growing number of workers remain single. Workforce limited
time
 for social contacts and families are the problems of working for a long
time
. Based on the elaborate discussion in the above paragraphs, I
finally
 support the fact that the balanced of lengthy job timings will not only allow people endeavour with well-being but it
also
 would be beneficial for families and society.
