Concept information
Preferred term
end of work
Definition
- Throughout human history, advancing technology has held out the promise of a dramatically reduced burden of work, leading some to suggest that work as conventionally known could be eliminated altogether. For workers in the economically more developed nations, backbreaking toil in industry and agriculture has been greatly reduced, but people in all societies continue to work hard, for long hours.
