New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern has floated the idea of a four-day working week to help the economy in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic
In a Facebook Live video posted earlier this week, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern shared the suggestion while discussing ways to revive domestic tourism in her country. Over the last few months, the coronavirus crisis has forced people around the world to lock down and decimated global demand for travel. "I've had lots of people suggesting we should have a four-day week. Ultimately, that really sits between employers and employees," Ardern said.
Since 2018, several government agencies have signed up to pilot a program called"flexible work by default," which directs employers to give their workers more freedom in various ways.While it's up to each participating agency to decide what that arrangement looks like, the government has outlined several possibilities — including allowing people to adopt shorter work weeks,"such as 40 hours over four days, or a nine-day fortnight.
