It is true that countries which are more potential in working time in present, are equally stable, while other countries with less work hours are facing struggle in the economical criteria. In my opinion, I completely agree with the statement. Having a decline average in the working sector can not create any value to a country’s development.
There are a lot of reason why a gradual average in working hours in needed for success. One of the possible reason is that, working hard makes people more passionate about the work. They can give their best to a particular sector, for thus can earn much for thy selves. It is important for a employee to secure a standard life with his family, because of that they are willing to do more works which can put a great value to his income. For example, in development countries, there exists many employee who do overtimes, by which they can get an increase amount of money including their basic salary. Countries like Japan, China, USA has a significant amount of people who are doing overtimes and put their impact on the national economy.
Another possible is that, many people can realize the value of working hard by doing certain jobs. They not only can keep them busy but also get more attentive and concentrate towards their work. For this reason, they have less depression and anxiety than others who are passing lazy times. For instance, these days students are very keen to do per time jobs besides study. It helps them to be productive in the same time as learning. If we see the countries which are seeing a great success in the economical criteria, it is commonly be seen that citizens of these country are more hard working & always keen to income more.
To conclude, a country’s development always depend on its economical growth. In my view, if the people are able to do more works, they should do it for getting a sustainable life.
