Speaking to journalists in Viseu, Ana Mendes Godinho explained that the Government decided to carry out “a study on new ways of organising working time, namely the four-day week, but which is part of a huge set of powerful and ambitious goals within the scope of the Decent Work Agenda”.
“Following the discussion of this study, several companies came to express their willingness to participate in pilot projects”, said the Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, refusing to give more details about these companies.
According to the official, “the next step will really be the study”, to “define the requirements, the parameters”, and then “be able to move on to pilot projects”.

As if Portugal is not inefficient enough!! Most economists will agree that one of the main reason for the low salaries, below average standard of living and low wealth in Portugal is Portugal's very low productivity when compared to other countries... Now another scheme by the Socialists to keep the Portuguese poor. The most disturbing thing about this is that most average Portuguese see this as a blessing while it is simply a wolf in sheep's skin. Horrible!

I thought the same thing; if you look at how services “worked” in pre-pandemic/pre-war, they were awful as it was, so I imagine these same ppl “working” 4 days a week and I think to myself “How is this going to improve services??!”

I agree, before you implement a 4 day work week or even attempt to study it, study the work ethics and current efficiency or companies both government and private sectors as a whole not just nitpicking companies and then think if reducing the work week would be really beneficial. An example SEF on their page and on the news it reads good news cause you can now book your appointment online. But is it open for all? Nope. So reducing the work week means more chances of not getting renewed.
