"For many people, the 40-hour work week can be an exhausting grind. But new
research bolsters the argument that the solution isn’t necessarily to focus on
improving your mindset, getting a better night’s sleep, or simply sucking it
up. It’s switching to a four-day work week. The evidence is presented in a
study published on July 21 in the journal
Nature Human Behavior.
The five-day, 40-hour work week was a hard-fought win for labor activists in
the US. The legal protection only arrived after generations of grassroots
organizing, union solidarity, and physical sacrifice—and even today the right
isn’t guaranteed to people working multiple, part-time, or gig jobs. Still,
that hasn’t stopped many labor advocates from pushing for even greater
workplace gains.
In recent years, a growing number of organizations and experts have started
campaigning for a four-day work week. According to nonprofits like 4 Day Week
Global (4DWG), a three-day weekend provides even better conditions not just for
workers, but for the businesses themselves. Thanks to recent research, they’re
amassing the scientific data to back up their demands."
