In theory, the best economic answer is to reduce the number of hours in a working week. In practice, it's very difficult to do that with competition from all over the world.
- david927 10y agoIt's not even a good idea in theory. There's already a shortage of, say, doctors and software developers. Lowering their hours makes it more acute without changing the unemployment rate at all. They tried it in France -- nothing really changed. The law says you can go home but you still stay and work; the company culture doesn't change. In theory, the best economic answer, I think we can all agree, is UBI.
