Hi guys In Sweden people work only for 6 hours and from what I heard it is being a sucess because people are working better than ever. In my opinion is because if you work for 6 hours you can spend more time with your family and friends and you dont see job as a bigger sacrifice anymore I think I wish in my country they could do the same thing Guys share your opinions please

6 hours of work is certainly easy to put up with.

You're country will never do such thing. It would be probably more likely to raise the time of work.

Yes, and they also have more vacations. They are very lucky. They don't work for so long time and they can get good income.

There must be a legitimate reason why they only allow six hours @sweetloveforeve

They think that people work better that way and they are right. If you can spend more time with your family and friends you can be happier when you go to work.

@sweetloveforeve Good for them. If only we could that here, trouble is that traffic takes up an hour specially if your late.

Thanks karen i wish all the countries worked the same way. It is not fair that in some countries you can only retire at 66 and in other countries you can do it with 50 years old.its too unfair. And this law of the 6 hours should be equal for all the countries. People would be happier that way

If Sweden only needs labor for six hours a day to get the job done and kick back the rest of the day then why did they import so much Middle Eastern labor?
