Rising bright and early on a Saturday used to be a matter of survival in Germany.【S1】the 1990s most shops closed for the weekend at 2 pm. Today you can【S2】into the wee hours every day except Sunday. In most German states shophours are, or about to be, fully【S3】. That should lay to rest the【S4】that Germany is anti-consumer. But it also【S5】a change in attitudes to time.
Germans have long fretted over time. Wasting it is forbidden;【S6】is required. The country’s austere Protestantism helps to explain this, but【S7】may a culture of industrial might. The efficient division of labor requires a【S8】schedule. And the family【S9】of a lone male breadwinner set a broad daily framework. With few mothers working, shop opening hours could be short, schools could open for only half the day and child care assistance was【S10】.
Yet with the economy【S11】driven by services, this time corset (紧身衣) is gradually loosening. More than half of employees now【S12】their own working hours.【S13】two-thirds of all women work, up from half in the 1970s. Then there is digital technology:【S14】arriving on the dot, you can send a text message apologizing for being late.【S15】, many Germans seem to have trouble adjusting to their new flexibility. There are objective reasons, such as the continuing【S16】of child-care facilities, which makes it harder for mothers to combine jobs and children.
【S17】, this is all an outcome of rising wealth and ever more distractions. Yet there are also【S18】barriers that keep Germans from using their time better. One is a bias【S19】hiring help, which many see as akin to slavery. Germans spend much time toiling at home unpaid:【S20】other countries have so many home-improvement stores.
