About the prospects for reducing duration working week in Russia

Abstract

For almost five years now, the country has been discussing possible options for reducing the length of the working week, but no practical implementation of the initiatives put forward has yet been observed. At the same time, the multiple increase in the number of proposals in the current year, as well as the start of pilot projects of individual companies to transfer workers to a four-day work week, may indicate gradual preparation of the ground for changes in labor legislation in the foreseeable future.
