Chile's move to a 40 hour work week
We look at the implications as the country gradually reduces from 45 hours
We look at the implications as the Latin American country gradually reduces from 45 hours.
In April 2023 politicians approved a law in congress saying that businesses need to move towards cutting their hours to help get a better work life balance for employees.
This reduction is happening gradually, and the working week is getting shorter by at least one hour per year, over a maximum of five years.
We speak to workers and businesses in Chile about the impact - good and bad - that this is having.
