Why do Nepali people misjudge public leisure for unemployment?

Not everyone is tied to a 9 to 5 clock, without having a few minutes to spare for family, friends and society… or even own self.

I don’t believe people who say Nepali crowd gathering at every happening places (parks, bridges, accidents, major construction work) is a sign of joblessness (I find people on their leisure time, being blamed for not ‘being employed’.).

That’s an assumption in a massive scale.

Not everyone is tied to a 9 to 5 clock, without having a few minutes to spare for family, friends and society… or even own self.

It overlooks a large number of people who make their living through odd-shift jobs, projects, gigs, on-demand service jobs, and manual labourers whose clocks are rarely predefined and preassumable.

People go somewhere to dwell, gather somewhere to share things, or give attention to things that matter to people who are in urgent needs… because it is one of the ultimate points of being human in a society. Being employed I believe is not one.
