The causes of young people having little leisure time and being under a lot of pressure in their studies and work can vary depending on the country and its specific circumstances. We are living in cut through competition of 21st century, where youngsters live a sedentary lifestyle due to their lack of time. Even they do not play or give time to their peers. They are under pressure of getting good grades. When the exams or tests come, students are under pressure and burn the midnight oil. Moreover, there are several causes of their problem.
According to me, sometimes parents bring pressure towards the children life and have expectations of ace of test. They always say for study all the time other than wasting the time in playing, watching tv, drawing, using cell phones etc. Parents abstain their child from curricular activities. They do not have afraid of spend money on their children studies. Parents provide best school and college education for their children. In all this parents forget to know the child's own interests. What they want to do in their life because some children may interested in dancing, singing, painting and so on instead of becoming CA, engineering, doctor etc. Parents often play a significant role in shaping the aspirations and pressures experienced by young people. High expectations from parents can create additional stress and a lack of freedom to pursue leisure activities.

On the other hand, university competition is also become harder. In some countries, there is a strong emphasis on academic achievement and competition, leading to high expectations and pressure on students to excel in their studies. They judge students by their grades. If some student has cut no ice the he/she is not good according to university. To exemplify, now a days there is a cut through competition of gaining government job. Firstly, according to rules, student has to clear written exam. This will be possible only when the student will put their thinking caps on. Sometimes, some students get failed and this makes them under pressure.
Cultural factors: Societal expectations and cultural norms can contribute to the pressure faced by young people. In certain cultures, there may be a strong emphasis on academic success and the pursuit of prestigious careers, leaving little room for leisure activities.
"A society that deprives its young generation of leisure time is like a garden that refuses to give its flowers a c Lubbock hance to bloom." - John Lubbock
Economic factors: Economic pressures and the need to secure a successful future can drive young people to prioritize their studies and work over leisure time. The fear of unemployment or limited job opportunities may lead to a heightened focus on academic performance.
To address this issue, several solutions can be considered:
Parental Support : Parents should release student from fret and care. Don't compare their child with other, if one is smart cookey then he/she can also become a sagacious if parent support. Spend time with the child and giving them a sufficient time to make them to go higher for their circullar activities and playing.
Education reforms: Governments can review and adjust their educational systems to create a better balance between academic rigor and leisure time. This might involve implementing more flexible curricula, reducing excessive homework or exam pressures, and promoting holistic education that values creativity, critical thinking, and well-rounded development.
Support systems: Schools can provide counseling services and support networks to help students cope with stress. They can also raise awareness about mental health issues and the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Cultural shifts: Society as a whole can work towards shifting cultural expectations and promoting a more balanced approach to success. This might involve valuing personal well-being, encouraging diverse career paths, and recognizing the importance of leisure activities for overall happiness and fulfillment.
Work-life balance policies: Governments and employers can implement policies that promote work-life balance, such as flexible working hours or mandatory vacation time. This allows young people to have adequate leisure time and reduces the pressure they experience from work.
To sum up, the understanding between children and parents will also support in their dreams and views. It is essential to recognize that these solutions may require a collective effort from educational institutions, governments, parents, and society at large to create an environment that prioritizes the well-being and development of young people while still valuing their academic & professional pursuits.
