Should work be compulsory?

Should work be compulsory?
Today I will be writing a post about whether work should be compulsory.
Would there be enough jobs?
I don't think there would be enough jobs because if everyone worked there wouldn't be enough people to create new jobs for everyone to work. But someone could create a job where you create more jobs which, would solve this problem. Although this would be very hard because then there would be the same people running loads of businesses and that would cause a lot of problems. Also, this would put a lot of pressure on the Prime Misnister because he would have to manage all of the jobs in his/hers country.
Would people have any spare time?
If everyone had to work I don't think people would have any spare time because you would have to work which means, that you couldn't take days off or anything! Although, some jobs only require for you to work certain hours people would have spare time to be with family and friends. Adding on to that, you would have spare time if you had a job that only required certain hours because you couldn't have two jobs to fill your time, they would all be taken if everyone had to work.
Would we produce to many products?
I think we probably would make to many products because if everyone worked then there would probably be a lot of manufacturers in the world constantly making more products. I am sure in a couple of weeks of everyone working there would be way to many products for everyone. This would then lead to over supply and people not needing to work anymore because we would have too many products.
Thanks for reading and I hope you found this intersting!

I found this interesting trusting_dragonfly. I think that everything that you said in your post is true, also if work is compulsory you wouldn't be able to pick your children from school. My only question is what does compulsory mean?

Compulsory means that you have to do it because it is in the law or someone super powerful has told you that you have to do it.
Thank you trusting_dragonfly for answering my question.

This is a very interesting concept, well done! thinking about your final question, where you discuss over supply of products, what do you think would happen to make sure these are all sold? If everybody is working, would there be higher demand for some products as well?

I think that there actually wouldn't be anything to make sure that all the products would be sold I think they would just keep making products and then there would be overflow.
Answering your second question, I don't think there would be a higher demand any products because I think in the factories they would just keep making products so they would never run out of products.
