Today, many people spend less and less time at their home. What’s the reason for it? What are the effects of this trend on individuals and society?

In these modern times, people spending

time

at

home

is becoming rare. In my opinion, I believe that the reason is

due to

work-related stress.

Thus

, they would spend their rest days and holidays relaxing and unwinding.

However

,

this

would bring negative effects like additional expenses and weakened family ties. First of all, the most discernible aspect is the high demand for work.

This

is mostly true for young working professionals nowadays, who are feeling burnout from their workloads. Because of

this

, these individuals would rather spend their weekends off or holidays to relieve their stress from work. That being said, high expenses would result

due to

the unplanned and additional excursions. Planning a recreational activity requires money for transportation, and food to name a few.

This

would just be an added expense that would require a budget.

Additionally

, a point worth considering is the effect of weakening family ties. Spending

time

at

home

gives the opportunity for family members to communicate. An optimal example of

this

is the situation of working

parents

. Because working

parents

need to be working to sustain their financial stability, they would often come

home

late and

thus

would not be able to spend

time

with their children.

This

would result in children becoming distant from their

parents

and

parents

would not know how their child is doing

for example

in school. In conclusion, in my opinion, I believe that work-related stress is the factor why society is spending less and less

time

at

home

. There may be additional contributing factors, but whatever the reasons, they will result in a negative effect on the individual.
