They map out a pragmatic pathway to a shorter working week that safeguards earnings for the lower-paid and keeps the economy flourishing. They argue that this radical vision will give workers time to be better parents and carers, allow men and women to share paid and unpaid work more equally, and help to save jobs – and create new ones – in the post-pandemic era. Not only that, but it will combat stress and illness caused by overwork and help to protect the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e This is essential reading for anyone who has ever felt they could live and work a lot better if all weekends were three days long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnna Coote\u003c\/b\u003e is Principal Fellow at the New Economics Foundation (NEF).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAidan Harper\u003c\/b\u003e is Researcher at the NEF.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlfie Stirling\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Research and Chief Economist at the NEF.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 February 2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509539642\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380616556684,"sku":"9781509539642","price":40.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781509539642_ab3cbf9a-7a02-4f72-b48e-9f83433a6f9a.jpg?v=1780107417","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781509539642","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
