Work is a four letter word. The work we do is a key part of our identity, but for many it is also the bane of our existence. You could say that work is the fuel of an economy, without it everything stops. Which types of work attract payment, and how much, has a huge effect on the shape of society. It is worth considering why levels of payment often don’t line up with how beneficial work is to a community. The incentive of financial gain is a powerful motivator in people choosing what type of work to expend their exertions on, but it’s not the only one.
