could it be explained as a generational gap?

that generation tied a lot of value to the ability to work.

the current generation looks for all possibilities to not work.

If the current generation is looking for all possibilities to not work they're sure doing a crap job at it - the number of people working multiple jobs has shot up... Or did you mean that stereotypical millennials are lazy and thus all young people are lazy?

the people working multiple jobs is due to how the jobs have gotten 'securitized' - people have become specialists in low skill jobs, leading to no growth at all.

A person who is a Uber driver and a dog sitter is unable to display much skill addition after years on these jobs.

i can only quote anecdotal data about the attitude to work among generations. On the other hand, because of the changing nature of the work, it is completely understandable.

You're getting downvoted for this statement, which is utterly ridiculous.

From what I see around me, the current generations work as much, if not way more, than previous generations (such as boomers).

i differentiated between between people working and people wanting to work.

it is also true that if a generation is chronically overworked, they will not be interested at all in working till their death.
