Last week, the program “Forum” on Radio SRF1 aired a segment on the topic of “lifestyle part-time work.” This refers to voluntary part-time work undertaken for the sake of quality of life. It is therefore not about reducing one’s workload due to childcare, health, or education and training. The segment explicitly focused on people over 50 and presented this trend in a critical light. From our perspective, however, the segment falls short. After more than six years of experience with a 35-hour workweek at full pay, we can say: Fewer working hours do not automatically mean lower performance.
