50% of people in my country already work 32 hours or less (75% of women and 25% of men) and no one needs a second or third job to make it work.

Since many jobs can't produce the same output with less time this will actually creates more jobs in service industry, policing, healthcare etc... Which is perfect to offset many jobs lost due to automation.
Yes, those services would get more expensive (just like they are now compared to the times we worked 6 days a week) but that's just the price for 50% more free time for the rest of your working life.
