The country has a strong work ethic, and people take pride in their jobs. This attitude towards work is reflected in the country's economy, which is one of the strongest in Europe.
Arbeit can refer to both paid and unpaid work, including household chores, volunteering, and internships. The concept of Arbeit also includes the idea of responsibility and duty towards one's community and society as a whole.
