There must be a lot more people who think the law's helping them than harming them, or it'd be changed. Might take time, but those sorts of laws have been common all over Europe for quite a while and I don't see any especially strong movements to repeal them, or even reduce the days off per year, despite incentives for businesses to attempt to drum up or encourage (at least, surely, not to oppose) such a movement, if possible, which one would expect to make such movements significantly easier to start and grow, if they had much popular support at all.
- bko 7y agoI agree that it's not a popular opinion, but with these sorts of things the unintended consequences are not very visible. The people working part time may not realize it may be due to this affect. It's also interesting to look at percentage of workers that work part time by country. US is relatively low at 22% while countries with a more generous welfare state are higher (France 39%, Norway 48%) But there are a million other things going on as well so I'm not sure if it's related to that or something else https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.PART.ZS?most_recent_value_desc=true https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.PART.ZS?most_rec...
