Post Work Society

A post-work society envisions a future where traditional employment is largely obsolete due to technological advancements and evolving social structures. This concept emphasizes the decoupling of societal value from work, the adoption of automation and artificial intelligence for repetitive tasks, and the exploration of alternative income models, such as Universal Basic Income (UBI). Key characteristics include technological transformation, redefined perceptions of work's role in personal identity, and hybrid forms of work-leisure enabled by globalized and virtual systems. Drivers of this shift include technological advancements, the rise of the gig and sharing economies, cultural shifts critiquing traditional work ethics, and changing workforce demographics, with younger generations prioritizing work-life balance and meaningful engagement.
