New economy challenges Jordanian households
The article highlights the phenomenon of the "Time Market" in Jordan, where time is considered a valuable resource that can be purchased with money, aimed at saving effort and time in daily life. It discusses how ready-made products and services, such as prepared foods, cleaning services, and delivery options, have become essential for working women and busy individuals, albeit at additional monetary costs. The piece explains that this phenomenon has contributed to the emergence of a new economic and service activity, created job opportunities, and facilitated informal social organization, while emphasizing the need to prevent the widening of gaps that could undermine basic needs. Despite the widespread availability of time-saving tools, people do not feel that they possess more time; instead, obligations and tasks continuously accumulate. This reflects that a sense of relaxation is more connected to mental arrangements and priorities than to the purchasing power of time.
