MENORES JORNADAS PARA MAYOR TASA DE EMPLEO: EL DEBATE QUE NO CESA
Keywords:
Employment rate, labor journey, productivity, labor shareAbstract
The reduction of weekly working hours as a means to combat unemployment is a two centuries debate still active. The article presents some positions about it from different authors ands perspectives. Opponents to the reduction request that the measure does not affect income distribution neither price inflation, but they do not elaborate their reasons in detail. Using simple math models it is shown that those two variables do not depend on the daily working hours but instead, they do depend on state policy and other key parameters of national economics. If the continuously growing productivity does not bring lower working hours and bigger real salaries, then it will only benefit capital and knowledge owners, hurting labor share in national product and increasing unemployment and labor precariousness. This economic vision needs complementary points of view coming from environmental defenders and those from activists against other forms of social exclusion.Downloads
