The Case for a Four Day Week

This pragmatic pathway to a shorter work week safeguards earnings for the lower-paid and keeps the economy flourishing. A radical vision that gives workers time to be better parents and carers, allows men and women to share paid and unpaid work more equally, and helps to save jobs – and create new ones – in the post-pandemic era, all while combating stress and illness caused by overwork, and helping to protect the environment. Could you live and work better if all weekends were three days long?
