    Huh? The average working week in the EU is 37.5 hours a week, or 7.5 hours a day: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20230920-1 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/d... Breakfast and lunch are not paid breaks in any EU country as far as I know.

      It really depends. For Finland lunch is unpaid unless you are forced to eat at premises. But then you usually have 2 refreshment breaks (10-15min) which are paid...

  Assuming a lunch break is not included as part of 8 hours, do you really think most exmployees are productive for a full 8 hours? Most office workers spend an exorbitant amount of time twiddling their thumbs, reading emails, going to the restroom. On average, I'd say knowledge workers are typically productive for about 2 to 3 hours per day. I'd estimate physical laborers range up to 4 or 5 hours. Assuming 8 hours of full productivity is a strange number to focus on

  I was surprised too but I guess OP included the weekends too since robots don't need those off. So 40 hours divided by 7 days.
