Whether you want to win the Loto to stop working, or on the contrary, you love your job so much that you dread seeing retirement coming, work is omnipresent in our lives and in our questions.
Since the Covid pandemic which has caused profound upheavals in our relationship to work, with in particular the development of teleworking and the desire for retraining, the possibility of work less arises.
Even if the figures are difficult to compare according to whether we take into account the annual hours or per week, France is not the country where people work the least in Europe. Denmark and Germany are among the countries with the shortest working weeks. In addition, in the United Kingdom, a vast experiment is currently being carried out four day week : if it were generalized, working time would be reduced significantly.
So working less, is it a utopia or on the contrary a realistic perspective that would allow us to put work back in its rightful place in our lives?
Geraldine Mayr discusses this question of work and the place it occupies in our modern societies with his guest, Celine Marty. Teacher-researcher in philosophy, she published Work less to live better published by Dunod.
