ABSTRACT
Working has always been an integral part of human life. Work has been a precondition for the survival of the individual, the success of companies and business, and the existence of society. In their early environments as hunter-gatherers, people contributed, according to their ability, to the tasks that arose. Most of them probably engaged in a broad range of tasks, but presumably with a marked difference between the genders. There were no speci—c workplaces, but the tasks were carried out within families as a part of daily life. Gradually, a differentiation arose between “work” and “leisure,” which has become permanent in most cultures right up to the present day.
