“The FNPR supports the idea of ​​shortening the working week as a means of optimizing the time of work and rest,” the report said on the federation’s website.

It is noted that the transition should be carried out with the same wage.

According to Elena Kosakovskaya, deputy head of the department of social and labor relations and social partnership of the apparatus of the FNPR, all the European countries that are in the top ten in terms of the shortest working hours are at a high level of socio-economic development.

“High-productivity work in individual countries, industries and enterprises has already made the 35-hour work week a reality,” Kosakovskaya added.

Earlier, the head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs, Yaroslav Nilov, in an interview with the FAN, evaluated the results of a study according to which in 2018, 20% of working Russians were afraid that they might lose their jobs.
