Many people are busy with work and do not have enough time to spend with family and friends. Why does this happen? What are the effects of this on family life and society as a whole?

In our modern society, more and more people have to work so long that they hardly have enough

time

for family and friends. Two major reasons contribute to

this

phenomenon, that one is the increase in occupational stress, and the other is the poor

traffic

conditions in the city and the long

traffic

times. Both of these factors steal our precious family

time

.

Firstly

, due to economic globalization and intensified market competition, employees are facing unprecedented occupational pressures. For job security, employees need to perform well in the company, which always means overtime.

For example

, the leader of a multinational company needs to meet early in the morning, late in the evening or even late at night with a team

that is

scattered in different countries of the world.

As a result

, he/she has no

time

to spend with the family at all.

Secondly

, the terrible

traffic

eating too much is another prominent reason. In some big cities, people spend hours commuting to and from get off work because the

traffic

is so bad.

For instance

, the average travel

time

to work in Beijing has exceeded two hours in recent years.

This

means that a person needs to leave the house at 6 o'clock in the early morning and can only return to the family after 8 o'clock in the evening. There is very little

time

left for the family. Society will suffer when more people come into

such

a paradox. To illustrate, when a couple encounters

this

situation, their relationship is sure to suffer, and if the situation lasts longer, it may break down. The couple will

also

have no

time

to care for their children. It is a reasonable expectation that divorce rates will rise and teenage problems will increase when the problem becomes serious.

As a result

, society will suffer from these problems and become unstable. In conclusion, high pressure and long shipping times can cause

this

problem. If it can't be solved, the divorce rate will rise, and the corresponding social problems will proliferate.
