Internal weakening of Western societies through workforce exhaustion may reduce economic competitiveness and military readiness relative to competitors. Labor market instability ('Great Resignation') signals declining institutional control over workforce. Potential shift in global power dynamics if burnout reduces Western productivity and innovation capacity.
Similar to post-WWI societal exhaustion and malaise in Western Europe, which contributed to political instability and rise of extremist movements. Also parallels 1970s stagflation-era social fragmentation.

Labor markets and workforce productivity
Reduced discretionary spending on leisure activities, delayed healthcare utilization, decreased productivity affecting household income potential, and increased demand for mental health services straining personal budgets.
Governments may need to implement workplace regulation reforms, expand mental health coverage, reconsider productivity-focused economic models, and address cost-of-living pressures. Labor policies may shift toward mandatory rest periods and work-life balance protections.
