I noticed some of the union strikes are asking for a 4 day work week. I hope this can start to change the cultural mindset on this issue. Once almost everyone knows someone working 32 hours a week, people will start to question their assumptions about the 40 hour work week and will want 32 hours for themselves as well.

I think the UAW is pushing for it. Like the 40 hour work week i expect unions to be the ones leading the way on it.

#8Would be good if homeoffice will be more standard. It is the future of work and saves a lot of CO2 (I think the IPCC goals will not be able if we do not roll out homeoffice broadly). It is also a good was to combine work and family for women and also men.

#9How do these attitudes towards work ensure productive output, which is related to economic activity and thus national security. Is the idea that some modern work is more mentally tasking, and so 4-day work week prevents burnout?

My company dropped down to a 4-day week with everyone getting to choose their day off - I went for Wednesday because it gives a nice mid-week break. And Monday and Friday are great for focussed work because the majority of people picked those two days.
