Read the article and answer the questions. Working Time Around the World Nearly a century after the adoption of the first international standard on working time, a new study estimate that one in five workers around the world or over 600 million persons- are still working more than 48 hours a week, often merely to make ends meet. At the same time a considerable number of short-hours workers in developing and transition countries may be underemployed, and thus more likely to fall into poverty. In the informal economy which; provides at least half of total employment in all regions of the developing world, with about three-fifths of it self-employment, some 30 per cent or more of all self-employed workers work more than 49 hours a week. If you thought you worked long hours, consider 39-year-old Lee from

South Korea. A civil servant at the ministry of agriculture and fisheries, Lee gets up at 5:30 every day, gets dressed and make a two-hour commute into Seoul to start work at 8:30am. He typically gets out of the door at 9pm, or even later, and by the time he gets home, its just a matter of jumping in the shower and collapsing into the bed, before starting the whole routine all over again, about for hours later. This happens six days a week, and throughout almost all of the year, as Lee gets just three days of vacation. I get to see my kids for 10 minute a week, and then just on the weekend, he says, before adding that, on weekends, he usually gets interrupted to go to the office. Lees schedule is completely normal in South Korea, where the average employee works 2,357 hours per year thats six-anda-half hours for every single day of their life. Leaving at the official time of 6pm could mean not getting a promotion or raise. Its very bad form to leave the office before the boss does, so people will hang around doing nothing, says Lee. But we are changing. At the beginning of the last century, the tractor and assembly line revolutionized the American economy. The eight-hour workday and the forty-hour week soon prevailed as a natural consequence of these innovations. The computer and other minor miracles have since opened glorious opportunities for a further reduction of our drudgery, yet nothing of the kind has happened. Modern life remains a headlong rush into long commutes, two-income families, late nights at work, and exhausting recreation. How could this be? What is it about our collective personality that drives us into this endless rat race? Two per cent of Americans now grow all of our food and then some. Another thirty million or so do all the mining, manufacturing, and construction. If this minority can produce our modern cornucopia, then the four-hour day within easy reach. 1.
