have benefits such as paid sick leave* and a minimum wage-. They have no job security, so their workload, and therefore their
pay, is unpredictable. This makes budgeting impossible and means that gig workers can be exploited
- when there are bills to
pay, any job for any fee will do.

You might think such work conditions would put peop|e off, but it's
estimated that almost 25 percent of American workers are now employed
in the gig economy and this is expected to rise, lt's difficult to wrap your
head around such a statistic, So what's the attraction? Well, there are plenty
of people Iike Jim - a university student - whose circumstances don't allow
them to work normal hours. They're not happy about their lack of rights, but
they have no choice but to do this kind of job. Equally, there are students
who choose gig work because of the freedom it gives them to make their
own decisions about when to wake up, when to work and how much work
to take on. For them, gig work is a great solutton,

So is gig work worth it for young people? Well, it's convenient for students trying to balance work and study. lt also helps to
develop self-discipline* and a work ethic* which will stand them in good stead later in life, But there's a danger that, over time,
the gig economy will normalise casual work and employment benefits will then become a thing of the past. And if you're injured
on the job, like Jim was, bad luck ... help won't be at hand, You'll be on your own.

Th. duys of the paper round. once a rite ol passege
I into work tbr thousands of young people in the UK,
appear to be numbered. Newsagents across the country,
once inundated with schoolchildren
keen to supplement their weekly income
by delivering newspapefs to homes, are
now being forced to cut back because
they cannot recruit enough paper boys
and girls.
Stefan Wojciechowski. a representative
of UK newsagents said: 'Kids don't
want to do paper rounds anymore
because of increasing pocket money.'
This means '|...] there is no longer
the incentive to get up at the crack of
dawn and [trudge] through rain, sleet
and snow. [...] It's a shame because
not only is a paper round good exercise, it is also a very
good way of bridging the gap between school and work.
Youngsters get a sense of a good work ethic, which is
good prepirration for the future, [...]
but it's no good if they are just getting
pocket money from their parents instead
of earning independently.'
With its early morning starts in all
weathers, back-breaking bags and risk of
dog attacks, the paper round has long been
seen as a character-building introduction
to work for many youngsters. However,
the lack of children prepared to take
on the job, as well as competition from
supermarkets and onlinę media, means
that many rounds are being phased out,

sick leave (n) - time that you take off work because self-discipline (n) - the ability to control yourself

This month's winning opinion piece comes from Sara Stokes in cLass ],0E weLL done to 5ara!
These days, many schooL-leaver5 are unabLe to find jobs and at the same time, many empLoyees are overworked, stressed and working
increasingLy long hours. PersonaL[y. l believe that a four-day week wou[d be a great soLution that woutd benefit everyone in this
situation. To exp[ain the reasons for my view, it is my intention to exp[ore this issue in terms of work-Life baLance and empLoyment.
When it comes to productivity, studies show that most people peńorm best when working between 25-30 hours a week, A four-day
week wou[d take advantage of this and this couLd also lead to employees using their time more efficiently and increasing their output.
UndoubtedLy, staffwouLd be Less stressed and probably have a betterwork-life baLance, As a resu[t. they are Likelyto be more motivated
and creative, so l am of the opinion that both employees and employers wou[d benefit,
Another important aspect of this issue is employment. lf people worked onLy four days a week, companies wouLd employ more staff.
Young people couLd then be offered part-time work or job-sharing with experienced staff. UndeniabLy, this wouLd reduce unempLoyment
amOng youn9 people and give them vaLuab[e work experience to improve their career prospects. Without doubt, companies wouLd aLso
benefit from fresh new taLents.
Some people disagree, and argue that a shorter working week wouLd mean people earning Less as they wouLd be unab|e to work more
if they wanted to, However, these issues couLd be solved. Employees cou[d have the option to work overtime, or salaries coutd be
guaranteed, to ensure a good standard of |iving.
ALL things considered, l think introducing a four-day week wou[d have tremendous advantages. l wou[d prefer to earn less and have
a far better work-life baLance, aLso knowing that l was helping to reduce unemployment. For me. the outcome of workin9 Less wouLd
mean l was a happier, more enthusiastic and hard-working emp|oyee.

Keeping up with what is happening in the
world is generally seen as an essential palt
of being a well-informed and educated
citlzen. Watching, listening to or reading
the news can satisfy our curiosity, make
us think, help us make choices and even
avoid danger. Or at 1east that was the
common view until recently. Howeveą
people are increasingly wondering if
staying up to date with what is going on
is good for us.
The fiequency, speed and way we access
news has completely changed over the
past few decades. Whereas previously
most newspapefs were published daily
and Tv and radio
news broadcasts
were limited, now we are constantly
bombarded with news from all sides:
we have 24-hour news channels, apps
to notify us about stories of interest and
social media that expose us to news
whether we want to see it or not. online
newspapers are updated many times
a day, with 'breaking news' posts that
lollorł events in real time.
The content of news repofts is almost
always negative. Throughout history, our
survival has depended on noticing threats
and avoiding danger, so the human brain
is hard-wired to seek out information
that is frightening or alarming,
a concept known as 'negativity bias'*.
We pay more attention to negative things
because that kept us alive in the past and
this is reflected in the news we consume.
In addition, because people now use
smartphones to record events live,
the news we see has become far more
graphic and shocking.
Recent studies have shown that our
news habits have disadvantages for our
physical and emotional health. In one
suryey, ovef 50 percent of Americans
repofied that the news caused them stress
and anxiety, often causing tiredness or
poor sleep. Research by psychology
expert Grńam Davey has also proved
that watching terrible or sad news on
TV can worsen people's moods and
make them worry more about their own
lives. Clearly, being exposed to this ever-
increasing bad news can mŃe us feel
less positive and affect our health.
However, there are ways to colrnteract*
this negativity. It is recommended that
you limit the number of times you check
the news to once or twice a day and
avoid looking at news apps befbre bed
in an effoń to reduce the
amount of negativity yott
are exposed to. If you
nolice your mood has
changed after hearing
or reading the news,
try doing activities that
improve mood such as
exercising, 1istening
to music or watching
a funny video clip to make
yourself feel better.
Several websites, podcasts and apps,
such as DailyGood, the Good News
Netrłork and Positive News magazine
offer an antidote* to the huge number of
bad-news stories in lhe mainstream news.
The Good News Network, for exarnple,
has over 20.000 positive news stories in
addition to podcasts, showing that there
is no lack of good news, but the media
simply do not leport it. Positive News
was established to develop journalism
that focuses on plogress and solutions.
Switching to these news sources could
not only make us feel more positive
about the world and ourselves, it couid
simply make us healthier.
While it is true that staying aware and
informed is not a bad thing, it is evident
that our news habits can have long-term
effects on our health. we should not
forget that we have a choice, not only
about how much news we consume, but
equally importantly about the kind of
news we want to see.
