Experiments with a shorter workweek have shown that working fewer hours improves worker well-being and productivity. But we can’t expect employers to implement this transformative change of their own volition.
The four-day work week movement presumes that wages will increase so that life remains affordable. Mind you this was before the current era in which life isn’t affordable on a forty-hour workweek.
Hopefully, when we collectively decide we’ve had enough, we’ll expand our distaste of slavery to cover all forms of bonded servitude.
