Sollten wir alle weniger arbeiten? Das sagt die Wissenschaft | Quarks TabulaRasa

Is 40 hours of work a week simply too much for you? You're not alone: Surveys show that many people in Germany work more hours than they'd like. Besides, who is truly focused and productive all day long? Sure, you can wish for a lot. But there are actually very good reasons for a slightly shorter full-time working day and thus more free time – for example, from a medical perspective. Employers could also benefit from this. Shorter working hours could even contribute to equal opportunities. That all sounds pretty good, but of course there are also good counterarguments. In this video, we'll show you the pros and cons of shorter working hours – and whether they can even be implemented.
