A 4-day workweek may find global acceptance but face roadblocks in India

Some Indian employees would prefer a 4-day workweek, but not everyone buys the idea, says a recent study

A recent study, the first in a series coordinated by the New Zealand-based non-profit advocacy group 4 Day Week Global, has come to a close with all 33 participating companies opting for a 4-day workweek. The data for the study were collected from businesses and organisations in the US, Ireland, and Australia, tracking 969 employees over ten months as they reduced their workweeks by an average of six hours with no change in pay.

"We communicated our inclination for a 4-day week of work to our management last month, but are yet to hear back from them," said Gagandeep Singh,
