Time Poverty
Time poverty means having too little time for what matters. How modern work culture creates time poverty and what individuals and organizations can do about it.

Time to spend with the family, time for yourself, time to work, time for household chores – it can be very challenging finding time for everything that needs to be done and everything you would like to do. Especially parents will always point their biggest complaint towards time issues. A day simply doesn’t have enough time for everything. This feeling of constantly having too many things to do and not enough time to do them is called time poverty. Many people persistently feel time poor, and this can have severe and wide-reaching impacts, including lower wellbeing, physical health, and productivity.
