Right now we have a lot of people that are not working at all even if they wanted... in many households, women stay home for childcare, there are people who don't even register for unemployment because of all sorts of (sometimes willful!) bureaucratic impediments.
By reducing the expected per-person workload to 20 hours a week, society would enable all these people to contribute.
