I concur: participating in household stuff (being men or women) is a huge thing. When you have kids, you have sometimes to meet the teachers, go to a doctor, do some adminsitrative work. Having a day for that (even if working a bit more the other days) adds flexibility for these tasks to be much bearable
- VSerge 1y agoLooking at the link shared in another comment with the actual study, it seems that only 55% of private sector workers are happy with the new arrangement, and that higher satisfaction rates are in the public sector. I am a bit skeptical about some of the conclusions of the report saying for example that the private sector needs to take more inspiration from the public sector, which seems blissfully unaware that the private sector can't rely on tax revenue to pay salaries, and has a very different set of operating constraints. referring to this: https://autonomy.work/portfolio/on-firmer-ground-icelands-ongoing-experience-of-shorter-working-weeks/ https://autonomy.work/portfolio/on-firmer-ground-icelands-on...

Case in point: countries where Saturdays used to be a working day, and where you also had school for kids on Saturday (France and Spain, if I'm not mistaken).
