Real Utopias for a Social Europe: Working Time Reduction and the Four-Day Week

Real Utopias for a Social Europe is a series of technical debate-type workshops on bold and innovative social policy proposals. The second two-day workshop on Working Time Reduction and the Four-Day Week will take place online on 27-28 October.

Real Utopias for a Social Europe consists of a series of technical debate-type workshops on various bold and innovative social policy proposals. Leading academic experts and policy-makers assess and discuss the feasibility, distributional impact, costs, and scalability of these policy proposals through evidence-based on various designs such as pilots, field experiments, microsimulation exercises, and real policy experiences. The objective is to bolster a hivemind that can provide scientifically rigorous yet creative tools to tackle growing socioeconomic inequalities and the green transition in the context of major social transformations ahead.

The second workshop in the series addresses Working Time Reduction and the Four-Day Week, brought together selected experts on these policies to discuss on the pros and cons of these measures, their potential social, environmental and economic impacts from a policy-oriented and evidence-based point of view. This workshop closely fits the European Commission’s priority of dealing with an economy that works for people and a European Green Deal.
