Spain is already known for its afternoon siestas, but now the country may take a new approach to work-life balance with the introduction of a permanent four-day workweek.
The idea was proposed by Spanish political party Más País and recently received government approval for a pilot program trialing the shortened workweek. The exact details of the pilot program are still being discussed among government officials, but Errejón’s party has proposed a three-year, 50-million-euro project that would allow companies to try reducing their hours with minimal risk.
