70 Hours Work Busted | Evolution of Work | All Work & No Play

from Swapnil Karkare Podcast: Economic Insights on India · host Swapnil Karkare

There was a time when we worked for more than 70 hours. Now, we shouldn't. But is Narayana Murthy wrong in proposing a 70-hour work week? Should we work for 70 hours a week? What does history tell us about working hours? What can we learn from history? Indians are one of the most hard-working populations in the world. But get one of the lowest pays in the world. How should we solve this problem? What can India learn from other countries? I discuss it in this video.
