Countries with a long average working time are more economically successful than those countries which do not have a long working time. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that nations where
people
work
for long hours
are more economically successful. This
essay totally disagrees with that statement because Western countries
do not have long working hours
and long working hours
produce stress and exhaustion.
The primary reason that working long hours
is not beneficial is that Western countries
do not follow this
trend but they are economically successful compared to some countries
that work
for more hours
. In Europe and North America, daily work
schedules are between six to eight hours
and have time
off one or two days per week. Furthermore
, this
increases productivity at work
because they have more time
to rest, which boosts the economy
of the country. For example
, in Spain, people
work
from Monday to Friday and the rest of the time
they do other activities, which are what help the country’s economy
rise.
Another reason is that when people
work
for too much time
, they get stressed and tired. This
is because when human beings continue doing the same thing for a large period of time
lose focus and get exhausted, which prevents them from continuing work
. When this
happens, the employees get pressured and less effort is put into work
, also
affecting their well-being. For instance
, in Eastern ,countries
people
work
for very long hours
, but people
are tired and the jobs are not filled on time
, which affects badly the nation's economy
.
In conclusion, long working time
is not helpful to a country economically because Western countries
have moderate working schedules with high productivity, and spending too much time
at work
can affect people
’s health and also
, it’s disadvantageous to the nation's economy
