Is a four-day week a good idea? | You Ask The Questions
Companies across the UK have been trialling a four-day work week over the past six months, with employees enjoying longer weekends for the same pay. The idea’s gaining traction around the world, with union workers in America recently demanding it from automobile manufacturers.

India Burgess from the think tank Autonomy answers your questions on the four-day week.
