and hectic

work

schedules for many people in some countries are often prevalent.

This

happens in the countries where the labour supply is abundant, and labour cost is cheap, and it should be seen as a negative development because people's health and

work

-life balance is getting affected. It is becoming common in many developing and underdeveloped countries, where the supply of labour market is plentiful, and due to over-population securing a

job

is very competitive,

for example

, countries like China and India, where there is an over-population, citizen of the country strive hard to grab any

job

opportunity once securing a

job

whether it is a call centre or in any MNC

employee

gives his best and works around the clock to create and show his potentiality to the higher authorities,

for example

, it is quite normal to see any

employee

working for more than 10 hours in the companies like Wipro or Accenture, and due to the competitive market, employees are left with no choice but opting for long working hours as anybody is willing to

work

at a lower salary.

Secondly

, in my viewpoint, there are adverse effects on the social and personal lives. Working for long hours is not only impacting health but

also

creating problems concerning the cognitive ability which is leading to sleep deprivation and ultimately an

employee

who has a family is not able to spend quality time with their loved ones,

for example

, a report has been published by the health and well-being department by the Government of India, shows that more than 70-80 % are not satisfied with their

job

due to

work

- pressure and more than 50% of the youth are suffering from depression. Negative development is hampering many employees mental stability and making them more irritated, which is giving rise to quarrels with the family member.

Therefore

, there should be some flexibility for employees while they

work

. To conclude, companies in some countries should adopt a plan for the employees, where an

employee

should enjoy their

work

, but

also

balancing their

work

-life, so they can spend their time with their family, and if an

employee

is having fun while working, their productivity increases automatically.
