Wherever there is a societal problem you will find government policy is the likely cause.
And of course, on the issue of physical work it is government policy that has made it an issue.
The great unspoken irony (tragedy?) is that the government pays subsistence to millions of able-bodied people making it unnecessary for them to work to support themselves.
In effect the government pays them to NOT work.
Then the government proclaims that a shortage of workers makes it necessary to bring in uneducated, unskilled workers to do the tasks the welfare class won't do.
As if that cultural engineering wasn't enough, we have federal and state labor laws that make it illegal for kids to work summer jobs as they did a few generations ago.

That, believe it or not, is leftist dogma per the tenth plank of communism.

Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.Going further than that, the work ethic is also part of the state of being of the family—one of the primary things that the left is out to abolish, again per Marxist dogma. Every facet of what the Founding Fathers set up is torn down to create the Marxian dystopia.
