Is the 4-day workweek a good idea? In this assignment you will discuss this topic within a Canadian context. This assignment gives you an opportunity to read and critically assess divergent points of view and to present your findings in a short report.
The Approach
Several articles on the 4-day workweek are provided for your below.
- Skim the articles so that you can obtain an overview of the pros and cons of implementing a 4-day workweek.
- Determine how many articles are pro a 4-day work week, how many are anti a 4-day workweek, and how many are undecided about a 4-day workweek.
- Select at least 8 articles from the list on which you will base your report. Ensure that your selection includes all three perspectives and that the articles you selected are current. If you need to, continue to find more relevant sources.
- Use the information gleaned from the articles to write a report on the 4-day workweek. In your report, establish a clear position on the topic; provide critical analysis, and include thoughtful recommendations.
