How the work-life evolved
- In the 1700s and 1800s, workdays were long, and conditions were rough and sometimes dangerous. Older adults worked 12-hour days well past the last quarter of their lives.
- In the late 1800s, the age of mass production caused improved working conditions as businesses scaled, and the idea of working and retiring emerged. Now, you worked for 8 to 10 hours a day and could spend the rest of your time with family and friends.
- With the digital revolution, these worlds started to merge out of choice.
