In Iceland, the move to a 36-hour workweek has sparked progress in gender equality, allowing women to transition from part-time to full-time work.
With nearly 90% of Iceland's workers either on reduced hours or the option to shorten their week, equality between genders has noticeably improved.
The shift towards a shorter workweek has not only helped women achieve better work-life balance but has also encouraged greater male involvement in family life.
Countries like Germany, Portugal, and Belgium are now looking to Iceland’s model, but the success of implementation varies, especially in Belgium.
