Is it because of the work culture being too focussed on long working hours and lack of annual leaves? I don't really have any data to back it up. Just wondering

Is it because of the work culture being too focussed on long working hours and lack of annual leaves? I don't really have any data to back it up. Just wondering if it's getting worse.
- milsorgen 3y agoI don't agree with that. It's at its root a cultural issue. People need a realignment of values so that being outside or amongst others is a better use of their time than the status quo. From that perhaps a rebalance of work and life will result but I don't think starting there would move the needle much.
- PumpkinSpice 3y agoThe work culture isn't putting kids in front of computer screens and discouraging outdoor activities. It's not even something you can control as a parent. My kid, 16 years old, walks to school on his own - but he's always back right after classes. And it's not that he's an outcast. That's just how they roll in the SF Bay Area. Other kids go home too, or they are shuttled by their parents to some organized after-school activities.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoIn LA county it seems super common to see teens going out on their own. Not sure whats different up north. I think most students get free metro passes. Its super common to see teenagers riding the trains or busses, if I’d guess on account of the cost of insurance here for young drivers.
