In a special authored programme for the BBC's World Tonight on Radio 4, nef's Anna Coote explored the benefits of a UK-wide shift to a shorter working week. Building on the research presented in nef's report 21 Hours, Anna examines the benefits for families, well-being, productivity, the environment and the Big Society. |
