Radio Sweden Weekly: Is Sweden ready for a four-day working week?

from Radio Sweden · host Sveriges Radio

Sweden's standard 40-hour working week has been in place since the early 1970s, but with the fast-paced demands of the modern workplace, is it time to give people more time off for their mental well-being? In this special edition of Radio Sweden Weekly, we'll be talking to one of the driving forces behind the four-day week campaign in Sweden.We'll meet two companies that have introduced a four-day week where staff work 80% less for the same output as before — and they get to keep their full salary.And we'll be hearing from the business community which is warning of the expensive consequences if a shorter working week with no loss of pay was to be become standard throughout Sweden.Presenter: Dave RussellProducer: Kris Boswell
