Germany trials four-day week
Germany has started a four-day workweek trial for numerous employees, involving 45 companies nationwide. The objective is to assess the impact of an extended weekend on employee well-being, health, and productivity. Germany’s economy has been grappling with challenges such as elevated energy costs, unprecedented interest rates, and severe labour shortages, contributing to its sluggish performance.
The nation is experiencing a deficit of skilled workers, particularly in rapidly growing sectors. Projections indicate that by 2035, Germany’s ageing population will face a shortage of 7 million skilled workers. In 2022, The German Economic Institute (IW) reported a shortage of 320,000 STEM specialists in the country. In the same year, foreign STEM employees in Germany reached 202,000, marking a remarkable 190% increase since 2012.
