Switching to a seven-hour workday paid off: output went up, with the line churning out 10% to 15% more merchandise each day. Plus, he added, his staff — many of whom have been with the company one to three decades, appreciated getting home earlier.

Shorter workdays have made headlines lately, thanks to Gothenburg, Sweden. On 1 July, the city began a year-long experiment with six-hour days, enlisting a segment of government employees to work less than their eight-hour-a-day counterparts, for the same pay.

The hope is that staffers working shorter days will accomplish just as much, only with more efficiency and less calling in sick. It’s a nice idea, but will it — and other efforts to shorten hours in the office — work?

The grand productivity experiment

Studies of past attempts by various countries to trim employees’ workdays have yielded conflicting results.

改为每天工作7小时已有回报：产量提高了，每天都能多生产10%-15%的产品。鲍尔补充道，此外，他的员工（许多已在公司工作了十到三十年）都为能更早回家而表示感激。

最近，在瑞典哥德堡市，缩短工时成了新闻头条。7月1日，该市启动了一项为期一年的每天六小时工作制实验：参与实验的政府职员比每天工作八小时的同事工作时间短，但工作收入和原来一样。

实验希望工作时间短的员工效率更高，病假更少，并完成同样的工作量。这一想法很好，另外还有各种为缩短办公时间所作的努力。但这一切可以行得通吗？

大型的生产效率试验

对不同国家在缩短员工工作时间方面所做过的尝试，已在展开研究，但研究结果迥异。

China will encourage innovation across the country, and make innovation a driving force for our economic growth.

China will put people first in its development. No one will be left behind. The benefits of development will be shared by every Chinese and give people a strong sense of achievement and happiness.

China will step up poverty alleviation by focusing on the most needy. The target for 2018 is helping over 10 million rural people out of poverty, and the goal for 2020 is to eliminate poverty in all poor counties and regions, and to help all rural residents living below the current poverty line get rid of poverty.
