Until 'common human' actually has some time-cost function description set, it can't really. Anything that can benefit mass via scaling requires problem decomposition to its component parts.

For example if humans chose to dump fast food franchise and profiting off 'secret recipes' and agriculture, we could define a base economic unit of 'caloric intake' for humans and simply apply machine learning to optimizing distribution of food. Without profiting off someone else who chose not to share their idea people could be given a basic, "This much human labor time = This much stuff you get."

So, how many hours a day does an individual member of a population need to spend to cover their own basic 'I live' metrics. Make those problems open-source to solve (because who cares which person/project enabled everyone to have an extra holiday or reduce their 'must work' time by half?) and we would be at insane levels of optimization by virtue of focus.

Remove a lot of the existential bullshit and you'll find that all humans need sleep, healthcare (access to medicine/healing), food, shelter, transportation. Regardless of 'what' human you are, all of us submit to needing those five things.

As a fun thought, if there was a political platform that simply did their math correctly they could say, "If we do this, people of country X, we can add N many public holidays to our calendar and still maintain output!" Tailored to the obviously question of, "How many days a week do 'you' REALLY need to be answerable to society for?"
