Do you sometimes feel trapped in the hamster wheel, in the eternal cycle of eating, working, sleeping, while the marmot greets you every day? Scientists have now for the first time investigated what the average person’s day really looks like – revealing what we “waste” a relatively large amount of time on and in which areas there is still a lot of room for improvement with regard to the climate crisis.
What do we humans actually do all day? So far, there has been no answer to this question, although human behavior has been studied and researched from a wide variety of perspectives for decades. While economists have focused primarily on paid work activities and rejected activities other than leisure or unpaid work, sociologists, historians and anthropologists have often turned their attention to activities outside the formal economy.
However, due to major methodological differences, these studies are rarely combined and have not yet been integrated at a global level. That’s why scientists at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, have now taken on this task for the first time.
