The advent of a leisure society?
John Maynard Keynes (1930)
“there is no country and no people, I think, who can look
forward to the age of leisure and of abundance without a
dread. For we have been trained too long to strive and
not to enjoy.”
The advent of a leisure society?
Labor productivity per hour
Productivity is measured as gross domestic product (GPD) per hour of work
Data adjusted for inflation and for differences in the cost of living between countries
Average working hours per worker
over an entire year
Average working hours per worker
over an entire year – Belgium 1956-2012
1958-59
Average working time married laborer : 58u27’
married employees: 54u00’
(< 45 jaar - including commuting)
2013
Average working time co-habitating
full time employed men (18-44 j.): 41u30’
(including commuting)
Paradox: working less,
more time pressure
• Increased labor market participation of women
• The activity rate of women in Belgium increased from 30,2%
in 1953 to 70,8% in 2021
• Evolution from breadwinner family to dual earner family
Important evolutions during the last 7 decades

Co-habitating men (18-44 y.): 40u26’
Co-habitating women (18-44 y.): 29u33’
Total working time of a jong
co-habitating couple: 69u59’

Part-time work increases …
• Women’s organization of about 60 (female) employees
• Concern work-life balance and time for unpaid work
• One full calendar year in 2019
• Full-time: from 36h to 30h/week
Research:
• Time-use research: 7-day diaries and surveys: 5 waves
• March and October 2018
• March and October 2019
• March 2020: Covid-19
• Focus group and in-depth interviews
Lessons learned from an experiment with the
30-hours work week in Belgium
Employees were free to choose how to reduce working time on weekly basis:
• Shorter days
• Day off
• Combination?
• Most (around 80%) chose the option of an extra day off
• Mainly Wednesday or Friday
• Choices and preferences depend on macro, meso and micro factors
• Household composition & life stage: (young) children
• Work circumstances: choices other colleagues
• Temporal structures (schools, shops, …)
• Time availability of others (partner, family members, friends, …)
• Gendered norms
• Preferences are not static
Lessons learned from an experiment with the
30-hours work week in Belgium
• more me-time, rest and in-home leisure activities
• less fragmented leisure, more focused leisure
• more shared time with family members; also reflected in a better quality of time and
relationship with the children
• more time was spent on household-related activities, as well as care-related activities
• many of these household and care tasks were done with more pleasure, and were
less frequently combined with parallel activities (less multitasking).
• division of work between partners: some are as satisfied as before, while others are
less satisfied
• a decline in quality of the work atmosphere and the pleasure in work for some teams
• in their private life, employees experienced a decrease in pressure and stress
• in general, employees were more satisfied with their work-life balance and
experienced a reduction of work-to-life conflict

30-hours work week in Belgium
