Life is harder for young people now than in the past. Do you agree? It is commonly said that we used to live better in the past than now. Some people think we are dominated by the capitalism but, despite the system maybe is not perfect, we have loads of advantages. Currently, everyone has access to education. There are free school for those withour resources. Besides, children must go to school by law until they come of age to be allowed to work. This didn't happend in the past, when there were kids working at the age of eight. Another point to consider are the work conditions. Nowadays, workers have a mínimum of thirty days each year for holidaying, one or two days per week off and a pension plan among others. Not to mention, the ones who enjoy perks. If you compare those facts, a long time ago employees didn't have even a contract with dealing clauses. In my opinion we have had an improvement in these fields that all of us apreciate. We definitely have a better live now than our ancestrors.
