The problem is that the highest benefits of reduced work week is for worker having repeated stressful work which sadly are often work positions with relatively low pay. This means that for most of them, they cannot support a pay cut.
Going from 5k€ to 4k€ per month after tax is not the same thing as going from 2.5k€ to 2k€...
- user5994461 10y agoI am not aware of any European country where salaries are as high as 4-5k€ per months after tax.

- user5994461 10y agoROFL. You obviously have no clue what place you're quoting. Monaco is a small rock < 1 sq mile that is a fiscal paradise and a home for billionaires. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco
- late2part 10y agoI'm aware of what Monaco is, and you are right, it is small. It is a home for billionaires, as is the USA, India, and China, although the density both geographically and per capita is higher in Monaco. However, Monaco is responsive to the question, it's just not a response you like.
- user5994461 10y agoIt's not part of the European union AND it's not a country.
- late2part 10y agoThe wiki article you cite states it is a European country, EU isn't the original question - "Monaco has an area of 2.02 km2 (0.78 sq mi) and a population of about 37,800; it is the second smallest and the most densely populated country in the world."
- Loic 10y agoYes and this is the problem, working less for less money is at the moment not a choice for all but a lucky few.
