I completely agree with you. However, let's not forget the inevitability of game theory: people will always take advantage of the system for their good. France made their rules and it really did not solve the problems they were trying to solve e.g. unemployment. And a jobless family may end up worse off (family-wise) than a family whose parents work 5-10 more hours a week.
- Gustomaximus 13y agoWith the French example they said it didn't improve employment as they just increase output. So in a way it was a win as no-one lost and workers gained time. Personally I have seen this result in myself when I go from extended long hours back to a more normal routine, I'm just more efficient. I've seen studies saying the most efficient work hours are about 6 hours a day (I think I found on HN). I'm not sure how you get to the jobless family being worse off... what is the logic there?
