#people #aim #balance #work #lives
A lot of people are suffering because of the busy contemporary lifestyle.
Workers
 are trying to find a way to balance between
work
 and their personal
lives
 but they find it too hard to achieve.
This
 essay will discuss the reasons for
this
 issue and what can be done to solve it. There are many reasons why it is hard for
workers
 to
work
 and have free
time
 to spend with their families and friends because people spend the majority of their
time
 in the office as they have to
work
 overtime to cover their bills and daily expenses,
Thus
, they will have only enough
time
 to go home to do their chores and sleep. Another cause is most countries employers do not offer their employees a vacation which is unfair because
workers
 are the heart of every business and they are the actual money makers.
Furthermore
, because of the massive
increase
 in the urban population,there is traffic in all cities which waste a lot of their
time
 commuting to and from
work
. Some solution could significantly mitigate
this
 issue as
workers
 could form unions to push the government to make laws to
increase
 the minimum wage to a living wage and mandate all companies to provide their menial labours with two-day vacation per week,
For example
, in Sudan,the lawmakers enacted a law that changed the minimum wage from 5 pounds per hour to 50 pounds per hour that
increase
 had a real huge impact upon citizens
lives
 as you can see now entertainment facilities are full now after it was abandoned. To conclude, the
increase
 of working hours and the traffic have adversely influenced
workers
lives
, the authorities have the power to make up laws that could hugely enhance the
lives
 of all their citizens but in order to do that they should be pushed by the
workers
.
