Some people opine that increasing office hour is a reason for many social and personal problems and that is why it should be reduced to 35 hours in a week. What are the advantages and disadvantages of reducing the working week to 35 hours?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Different social and personal problems due to over work are arguably most concerning dilemmas in the modern world, both for developing and industrialised countries. It is suggested to forbid more than 35-hours work week schedule, as it might help diminish the issue. This essay will give in-depth analysis on both advantages and disadvantages of the mentioned solution.
