8 hour work was one of the strategies that Henry Ford of the automaker "Ford" created for the purpose of "hiring the best workers", before that time the working hours were longer. However, in modern times, Americans work time is 8.7 hours per day on average, it is longer than before, and breakdowns are also divided into e-mail, conference, Facebook etc. from the practical point of view.

The common sense was challenged by an application development company based in Stockholm, the capital of SwedenFilimundusBy the last year, I reduced working hours on the 1st day to 6 hours. As of now, there are no harmful effects that shortened working hours at work, according to CEO Linus Felt "As my impression it is easier to concentrate on what I should do and I will return home It is now possible to leave power. "

Rather, due to the presence of "reserve power", everyone was able to return home happily at home, and it became possible to be able to work happily the next day, it was an unexpected effect, and Felt "I believe that people now have a greater emphasis on money than money, and many people will choose" free time "rather than" high salary "in the future."

CEO Magnus Bråth thought that CEO Magnus Bråth thought that there would be something big change since the other companies are still working for 8 hours, but as with Filimundus, nothing happened. Rather, I checked the outcome that productivity was higher than other companies. In addition, Bråth says it's time to spend more time with family and for myself, and it's a good thing to do.

The same move is also taking place in the Swedish government, the Sweden's second largest cityGothenburgMunicipal authorities are piloting shortening of working hours of civil servants to evaluate the relationship between working hours reduction and productivity. In the public Svartedalens Care Home, the working hours of nurses have been shortened to 6 hours.

" Anne - Charlotte - Darbom - Larson, who is in charge of care for the elderly, said that the quality of care is higher when the staff 's working environment is happier. In the field of nursing care, since the 1990s a state of continuing to do a lot of work in small numbers continues, the staff 's illness and slump due to overwork is occurring.

However, Gothenburg's efforts will be finished in 2016. Introduced middle school leftistSwedish Social Labor PartyIt is no longer the majority of the city council, conservativeA moderate partyAnd liberalismKuomintang freedomIs strongly opposed to reducing working hours.

In this effort to shorten working hours, the same wages as 6 hours work are paid as 8 hours work, and Svartedalens care home has been increased by 14 staff to compensate for time shortening. According to the Kuomintang freedom, a total of 800 million kronor a year (about 11.46 billion yen) is spent since similar measures are taken in other places. Members of the moderate party ridicule this situation as if they are living in a world where money is falling from the sky.
