Some people opine that increasing office hour is a reason for many social and personal problems and that is why it should be reduced to 35 hours in a week. What are the advantages and disadvantages of reducing the working week to 35 hours?

There has been a controversy about whether reduced working hours are advantageous or detrimental. I think it has advantages and disadvantages. My reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.

First

, the working efficiency can be improved. As we know, employees are not working all the

time

; they take breaks occasionally,

such

as visiting some websites. At

this

point, if their working

time

is reduced, it can stimulate their spontaneity in

work

, and

work

their jobs in the expected

time

. According to some statistical figures, a New Zealand financial company carried out a 4-days working schedule in 2018. The result was outstanding;

although

20% of employees' working

time

was deducted, their working efficiency was promoted substantially.

For example

, their

time

for visiting some irrelevant webs was reduced by 35%.

Second

, it's advantageous to workers' bodies. It's commonplace that many office workers need to

work

for a period of

time

;

therefore

, it's possible that there are some health problems in their bodies.

For instance

, it has been reported that many office workers suffer haemorrhoids and low back diseases on account of sitting too long. In

this

case, should staff only

work

35 hours per week, they can have more

time

to do some sports. It's worth mentioning that

this

timetable can stimulate the country's economy as well. Because employees' working

time

is deducted, they have more leisure

time

.

Hence

, some entertaining places,

such

as nightclubs and shopping malls, will be popular.

On the other hand

, reduced working

time

has disadvantages as well.

For instance

, it brings inconvenience. There are some departments that are vital and are closely linked to our daily life, like banks. If they close earlier, it's bound to affect our life adversely;

for example

, you can't take out the money that you need. In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages of reducing the working week, I believe its merits outstrip its demerits
