sorry but what? work & family over the past 70-200 years is vastly different from work & family before them (most of human history).
the focus of former for most everyone was just to survive; you worked (probably sustenance farming) to survive, you married for resources, you had children to help with work, etc.
modern work and family is vastly different because work isn't solely motivated by the need for survival, many people today are privileged enough to think about other motivating factors like meaning, prestige, and satisfaction. only now do people had the ability to question things like how they structure relations and relationships, and find what works for them
I think trying to extrapolate in the way you are is flawed
- temp8964 5y agoYes. there are changes in technology and economy, but not in basic human needs. There might be less people work for survival, and more for higher needs, but it does not change the basic structure of human needs (see Maslow's hierarchy of needs). I don't see how this point out what flaw I may have.
