Today’s teens spend more time doing homework and less time working for pay than the teens of yesteryear. The Pew Research Center reports that 15-17-year-olds are spending 16 more minutes on average doing homework than teens did a decade ago and are less likely to have a job. Their downtime is mostly spent on screens, and though screen time has stayed relatively constant over the years, boys are clocking in nearly an hour more than girls.
