A four-day workweek is being explored as a potential solution, but its impact on women is uncertain, with some suggesting it could ease the burden on working parents, while others argue it may disproportionately affect women. The effects of a shorter workweek on workers and employers are also being debated, with some studies finding benefits and others raising concerns about health and productivity. The concept is being tested and discussed in various contexts, including efforts to boost fertility rates in some cities.
