Does the ‘Right to Disconnect’ Truly Exist?
Abstract
In recent years, several nations have moved, or are moving, toward adopting the concept of the right to disconnect. The European Union passed legislation concerning the right to disconnect, and Kenya is now following suit with a bill in the legislature. Countries define themselves through their ideals and motives, with work-life balance being a rising point of contention. As variables and characteristics of a country’s workforce change, the working dynamics also shift. For example, in France, the retirement age is rising. In America, many people pride themselves and attempt to distinguish themselves through their career success, money, and prestige—what some may call the American Dream—though the focus on success may be shifting.
