From a Functional Anthropologist perspective the people are all individually working hard in order to survive.  The people know that they have to move in order to survive or they will be left to die.  This is a fear of the elderly.  Due to this fear people are desperate to stay in the group and they work hard to exhibit there strength and resilience in their older age.
