Condición: New. AI (ilustrador).

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The five-day working week feels permanent because it is familiar. Monday begins the cycle, Friday releases it, and the weekend stands as one of the most recognisable boundaries in modern life. Yet the working week was not fixed by nature. It was shaped by industrialisation, labour movements, law, business practice, public services, family routines and the long struggle to protect time away from work. The Four-Day Week Question: Time, Work, Productivity, and the Future of the Weekend examines one of the most visible workplace debates of the post-pandemic era. As employers search for productivity, workers seek better balance, and customers continue to expect reliable service, the idea of a shorter week raises a practical question: can work be reorganised so that people gain more time without damaging output, access or fairness? Written in a clear, fact-based narrative style, this book explores the history of the five-day week, the meaning of the weekend, compressed hours, reduced hours, productivity trials, public-service challenges, customer needs, small-business realities, care responsibilities, health, burnout, technology, automation and the economic argument behind shorter working time. It looks at lessons from Iceland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and other pilot programmes, while explaining why no single model can fit every workplace. This is not a campaign book and not a simple prediction about the future. It is a careful examination of the evidence, trade-offs and practical questions behind the four-day week. For employers, employees, policymakers, managers and readers interested in the future of work, it asks whether the traditional week is still a practical necessity, a cultural inheritance, or a system now being tested by new expectations about productivity, service and quality of life.
