It’s the first time I leave such a comment, but I felt quite misled having to accept the cookies so I can read it; so here goes: the article has no sources, no numbers, basically nothing of worth. It’s also posted on a weirdly titled website, under the “Home Improvement” section; section which contains among other things EV & fighter jet related “information”.

I’m curious, what compelled you to share such a sketchy article?

Today, almost 90% of Icelandic workers benefit from a reduced working week of 36 hours, compared with 40 hours previously, with no loss of pay.

I haven’t been able to find any statistics in this article or other reporting so far about how many people are actually working four days per week instead of five. Reducing hours worked is not the same thing, but this article seems to gloss over that.

I did find another article that contains a bit more nuance, but it’s from 2021: https://www.wired.com/story/iceland-four-day-work-week/

Does anyone know which newer reports the first article might be referencing?
