The charts below show the percentage of time working adults spent on different activities in a particular country in 1958 and 2008. 

The two pie graphs detail statistics about the timetable of employed adults in an unnamed nation from 1958 to 2008. Overall, most activities recorded a higher rate of time allocation except for bedtime and spending time with loved ones which both saw a downswing. Moreover, people in this country spent more time at work than any other pursuits. 

Performing their work duties, having a sleep and going out with friends and relatives contributed to the majority of time spent by employees in this country. In 1958, they allocated a minimally higher proportion of time at the workplace than sleeping, at 33% and 32%, respectively. While the former increased by 9%, a 7% reduction was seen in the percentage of the latter in 2008. Meanwhile, accompanying friends and family members for entertainment dropped from 19% to 6% during the recorded period.

Concerning other activities, downtime at home accounted for 8% at the beginning before increasing to 13% by the end. Similarly, time allotted for other hobbies and sports activities also rose, but more slowly, from 6% to 8%. In contrast, starting in 1958 at the lowest result of 2%, the figure for commuting increased fourfold to 8% fifty years later, which surpassed going out. (198 words)

Question: It is observed that in many countries not enough students are choosing to study science subjects. What are the causes? And what will be the effects on society?

ANSWER:

In many parts of the world, there is an inadequate number of students who are interested in studying science as their major. This essay aims at providing the main reasons for such a tendency as well as illustrating how our society is affected as a result.  

There are two underlying reasons why not enough students aspire to study science courses. Firstly, this phenomenon is attributed to the challenges in majoring in the subjects themselves. In order to understand and thrive in science majors that are based on complex theories and reproducible experiments, learners are required to have high cognitive ability and commitment, or otherwise it can be intensely daunting to continue. Secondly, with the low employability of some scientific disciplines such as physical sciences, students are discouraged to pursue them as a career when choosing their area of study. In the last decades, increasing unemployment rates among graduates in physics and geology have been reported. 

This growing trend is going to have serious social repercussions. The inadequate number of key science experts can deteriorate people’s well-being. A case in point is the poor quality of healthcare services due to the physician shortage, especially during the Covid-19 period, causing preventable deaths amongst mild cases. Another consequence because of the shortage of workers in scientific fields is fewer major breakthroughs and inventions will be discovered. Consequently, stagnant scientific productivity can hinder development in certain sectors like economy, agriculture or education. 

To sum up, the deficiency in students taking science subjects takes roots from the difficulty involved in studying sciences and seeking relevant employment opportunities after graduation, and I believe that this phenomenon has a number of negative implications including decreased public health and a sluggish economy for the public and its country as a whole.
