abstract: 'There has been an explosion of interest in the ``four-day-week{''''}
movement across the globe, especially due to its potential in addressing
many of the societal challenges left by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four-day-week is a movement set to shorten the working hours of
full-time workers without a reduction in pay. I aim to set out the case
for a national move towards a four-day-week explaining why social policy
scholars should lead the debate. First, I provide evidence of the
societal costs that the current long-hours work culture has on workers''
and their family''s well-being and welfare, social inequality, and social
cohesion. Shorter working can help tackle these issues by giving workers
right to time, shifting the balance between work and non-work activities
in our lives and valuing them both. Social policy scholars need to lead
this debate owing to our existing knowledge and expertise in dealing
with these social issues and state-level interventions. In addition,
without pressing for fundamental changes in our labour market, we cannot
adequately address some of the key challenges we face as a society. The
paper ends with key research questions social policy scholars should
address as a part of this move.'
