Abstract

This article describes the conditions that must include the working time reduction (WTR) in order to create employment. We limit at the European level and take as a reference a case developed for France. Our proposal includes two different modalities of reducing the duration of work: one in which full-time work, part-time work and unemployment coexist and another in which the total hours worked is distributed among all job applicants. The article exposes a concise but very explanatory calculation on the «working hours of full employment», which would reduce to zero the unemployment rate. We also note that the relative difference between the working hours of full employment and the effective hours is equal to the unemployment rate. Additionally we also identified the political and financial issues linked with a working time reduction policy. The article concludes with the principles that must include a «good WTR». As a complement, three short appendixes that present various aspects of WTR through easy mathematics have been incorporate.
