Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin Is Pushing For A Four-Day Work Week

Finland's new Prime Minister Sanna Marin is calling for a shortened work week.

The new leader is pushing for a shortened work week to give workers more personal time with their families. With the condensed work week, citizens would work for six hours a day for four days a week.

Finland's current work week requires eight hours a day for five days.

"I believe people deserve to spend more time with their families, loved ones, hobbies, and other aspects of life, such as culture," Sanna Marin shared during a press conference for her party in 2019. "This could be the next step for us in working life."

Sanna Marin is 34 years old and a mother of one. She's the second-youngest head of government in the entire world.
