[Column] Work less and produce more: the uncomfortable Nordic example by Aldo Madariaga

Column was published in the renowned medium CIPER Chile.

The researcher of the Center for Economy and Social Policies, Aldo Madariaga, publicó una columna en CIPER Chile titulada "Trabajar menos y producir más: el incómodo ejemplo nórdico".

In the text, the relationship between hours worked and productivity is addressed, within a framework of unlike contexts of collective union organization and different levels of state presence. "The historical analysis reveals that it was social benefits and labor benefits that historically preceded improvements in productivity and not vice versa" It is one of the main thesis worked on in the text, challenging the causal chain present in the arguments of the detractors of the bill that reduces the working day in Chile.
