Finland To Introduce Four-Day Working Week and Six-Hour Days [Update]

Finland's new Prime Minister has called for the introduction of a flexible working schedule that would involve a four-day week and six-hour days. From a report: Sanna Marin, the youngest female head of government in the world , has announced the intention to trial the initiative, which she claims could be "the next step" in working life. The 34-year-old leads a five party centre-left coalition - all led by women. The Social Democratic Party leader told NewEurope: "I believe people deserve to spend more time with their families, loved ones, hobbies and other aspects of life, such as culture. This could be the next step for us in working life." UPDATE: After being reported by the Evening Standard, Guardian, Independent, and many other outlets on Tuesday, we have learned that this news is not true. "Not only are these proposals not included in the Finnish government's policy program, multiple government sources told News Now Finland on Monday evening that it's not even on the horizon," reports News Now Finland. The Helsinki-based media project explains the origins of the story in their report.
