Yes, wherever feasible (understanding that it may not be possible for essential jobs like emergency services). Most jobs office jobs don't need to be done 5 days a week and reducing working hours could have big environmental benefits by reducing emissions.

More research is needed to make a more informed decision
@9QQ4MKL3wks3W
The work schedules need to be flexible and adapt. People need more time with their families
@9PJNLSY1mo1MO
Yes in theory, but like many things mentioned throughout this survey, it'll probably have to wait some time before it could be possible.

If is optional. I would love a 4-day working week if it meant longer days but no reduction in salary.
