\t\t\t\t\"3dayworkweek\"<\/a>When Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecom billionaire, suggested a global three-day workweek, news outlets around the world jumped on the story. More leisure time fits into the equation, but so does longer working days\u2014and workers staying in the workforce into their 70s.\n\nAccording to Phillip Inman and Angela Monaghan, writing for The Guardian, \u201cUnions might be wary, but technology, increases in life expectancy, and cost pressures from commuting and soaring house prices are all encouraging a more flexible approach to work.\u201d\n\nInman and Monaghan spoke with experts in the UK to get a sense of what the reality of a three-day workweek would mean. Here are some of their thoughts:\n\nDavid Kern, Chief economist, BCC: \u201cSome workers would be happier and more productive, but for others, working 11 hours a day would not appeal.\u201d\n\nMike Emmott, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development: \u201cCarlos Slim is right that people should carry on working into their 70s. It can be a positive development for many people, especially if they are interested in their work and want to maintain their work-related social life.\u201d\n\nSir Ian Cheshire, Chief executive, Kingfisher: \u201cThe idea of a three-day week is in principle interesting as part of a wider trend in the workplace to much more flexible patterns of working to suit lifestyles, older workers, multiple job holders and career re-entry.\u201d\n\nRead the full article at theguardian.com<\/a>.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
