Former Prime Minister Antin Linne resigned and was named the 46th Prime Minister of Finland by the Social Democratic Party of Finland on December 8, 2019. He was 34 years old when he became Prime Minister, the third youngest female PM in Finland's youngest.
Mr. Malin announced that he is considering a '4 hours a day, 6 hours a day system' as a bill to allow workers to spend more time with their families. Since the time of the Minister of Transport and Communications, Marin has been advocating 'shortening of working hours' to improve productivity.
In his response, Prime Minister Marin said, 'It is important to reduce the working hours of the Finnish people. This is our commitment and will help our workers. In Sweden, a neighboring country that works overtime, studies have shown that workers are happier, more economically rich, and more productive. '
At the time of writing, the working hours stipulated by law in Finland are five days a week, eight hours a day. The announcement is reportedly earning the enthusiastic support of Minister of Education Li Anderson, who heads the Finnish Left Alliance .
