Evolution Of Work Patterns & Practices Since The 1970s: A Deep Dive
Table of content
The BIG picture 🌍
- Since the 1970s, there’s been a whirlwind of changes in how we work and what we want from work.
- Why it matters: Employers and employees both feel these shifts. From wanting more Netflix-and-chill time (work-life balance) to businesses trying to adapt and stay cool, it's all changing!
🍕 Real-World Example: With the rise of food delivery apps, many prefer flexible working hours as delivery riders rather than the traditional 9-5.
Factors that gave our working world a makeover 💄
- Jumping from public to private sector jobs.
- Global migration trends (everyone's moving around!).
- More women stepping into the workforce 🙋.
- Evolution in education opportunities.
- City life booming & stress levels rising.
- Granny & grandpa staying in jobs longer, aging workforce.
🚗 Real-World Example: Remember the last time you used Uber? The gig economy lets people work when they want to.
The ‘job’ evolution 🦖➡️🚀
- Changes in what jobs businesses need and what jobs we want.
- Thanks to tech (shout out to ICT 🖥️), people move between occupations and places more easily.
💼 Did You Know? Email & online payments have reduced our dependence on traditional mail services!
🎒 Real-World Example: A postal worker today could learn to become a web developer tomorrow, thanks to online courses.
