4th April 2019
The New Economic Foundation's Aidan Harper argues here that we should be looking at the possibility of introducing a four-day working week, not just for its mental health benefits, but for its impact on the gender pay gap and current levels of income inequality. It's an interesting read.
Happy Hump Day! 🥳🙌 Imagine if tomorrow was the last day of the working week... @Aidan_Harper_ argues that a @4Day_Week should be seen as "a fundamental aim of our economy" in his @guardian piece today 💡 https://t.co/6k3AfV1kAE
