Just musing a bit further, there are multiple ways you could attack this. For instance, you could also encourage people to work shorter hours—we've all become much more productive in the past century, so why are we still working 40 hours a week at minimum?

Because we don't sell units of productivity - we're selling units of labour. If I don't sell 40 hours per week, somebody else will.
