Today, the news that experts suggested that the five-day work week be adjusted to four days or four and a half days has been on the hot search and has attracted widespread attention from the society. It is reported that Professor Ma Liang, a well-known scholar at the Chinese People's University, has spoken out publicly, saying that in view of the increasing pressure of modern life and the profound changes in social concepts, the five-day work week, which has been implemented for nearly 30 years, has become more and more obvious and should be adjusted, and suggested the introduction of a new model of four-day or four-and-a-half-day work system.
Professor Ma's suggestion sparked heated discussions among netizens. Netizens expressed their opinions one after another, and some netizens joked in a humorous tone: "Workers are like hard-working cattle and horses, and it is difficult to guarantee even weekends, and now the bosses of private enterprises are reluctant to take even two days off, and you still want them to give you three days off?" It's harder than climbing to the sky! ”
Some netizens believe that work is for life, not life for work. Maintaining a work-life balance is a fundamental right for everyone. The previous lifestyle of working overtime and over-involuting seems to be efficient, but it is actually a great destruction of physical and mental health.
It takes 3 years to walk, but it will be completed in 1 year, which is not necessarily a good thing! If the four-and-a-half-day work week is changed, the leisurely weekend mode can be started on Friday afternoon, and people will have more time to enjoy the beauty of life, which will undoubtedly greatly promote people to experience the fun of short trips, to spend time with their families, and to enhance family relationships. Such a change will undoubtedly have a far-reaching impact on economic development.
First of all, the short-haul tourism market will usher in new development opportunities. On weekends, one can choose to enjoy a relaxing excursion to the surrounding scenic spots, rural idyllic areas or the outskirts of the city. This will greatly stimulate tourism consumption and promote the rapid development of the tourism industry. At the same time, the prosperity of tourism will also lead to the rise of related industries, such as catering, accommodation, transportation, etc., thus forming a virtuous economic cycle.
Secondly, the four-and-a-half-day work week helps to improve people's quality of life and enhance people's spending power. In the case of reduced working hours, people's income may be affected to a certain extent, but the increase in leisure time will make people have more opportunities to experience various consumer services and improve their quality of life. In addition, adequate rest and relaxation also help people work more efficiently, which in turn contributes to the health of the overall economy. 、
This proposal not only reflects the deep concern for the rights and interests of workers, but also demonstrates the profound insight into the pursuit of a balance between quality of life and work efficiency. In the fast-paced, high-pressure modern society, this change will undoubtedly bring us a more relaxed and enjoyable life experience.
