Not working 9-5: Can a non-linear model improve the way we work? The idea of what constitutes a working day is up for renegotiation post Covid about 5 hours ago
When economist and labour market commentator Daniel Susskind published his book A World without Work early last year, he could not have imagined that people’s working lives would be changed so dramatically within months by a pandemic. Susskind had written his book to flag what he believes is one of the greatest economic challenges facing the world – the growing possibility of there not being enough well-paid work to go around. At the time of writing, Susskind thought this was still some way off. However, the highly destructive impact of coronavirus has brought the prospect that much closer, he believes.
