RE: Why People Refusing To Work Is Actually A Good Thing
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The reason this is the case is that many people are making as much, if not more, than they were when working.
That’s one of the reasons, but there are others. I heard a story on the radio a few days ago about a lack of childcare that was causing people to not go back to working since the childcare facilities the people had been using before Covid had gone out of business, a bit of a Catch-22.

Childcare is also quite expensive.

That is true but when you look at the percentage of worker aged people, those with small children is a rather small percentage as compared to the whole. Certainly a piece of the equation but only about 15% are affected. This leaves 85% who could fill those jobs if they were inclined.
But why should they? It is like the work from home discussion: why should workers return to the office if they have a better deal working at home. No commute. Saving on food and travel. Work in your jammies.
Society doesnt do well as paradigm shifts are taking place and we see a lot of them happening.
