He told RIA Novosti about this.

“Any suggestions from social partners are always discussed.

If this proposal is voiced, we will discuss ... If the social partner comes out with some kind of initiative, we cannot ignore it, ”he said.

At the same time, the minister stressed that the readiness to consider the proposal does not imply that the department "potentially agree" with it.

Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that the movement towards a four-day work week should be gradual based on economic logic.

In March, the Ombudsman of Moscow Tatyana Potyaeva announced her support for a four-day work week for women.

Viktoria Danilchenko, a lawyer and specialist in family law, in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper commented on the proposal for a four-day working week for women.
