Why a shorter working week can help us all to flourish in the 21st century

12 Jan 2012 - Report
Author(s): NEF

This NEF report discusses the benefits of shortening the working week to 21 hours.

NEF says that a ‘normal’ working week of 21 hours could help to address a range of urgent, interlinked problems: overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, entrenched inequalities, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life.
