The Dutch people work only four days each week. Gavin Arm and Bert de Wit own a small company in Amsterdam. They started the four-day week in 2019.
Their workers get the same money. They work 32 hours each week. The workers are happy. They have more time with their families. "Your kids are only young once," says Arm.
Dutch people work the shortest hours in Europe. They work 32.1 hours per week. But they still make a lot of money. The country is very rich. Workers say they feel better and work smarter.
