Who Stole the Four-Hour Workday?

I think you're trying to solve a wrong problem. Work isn't a problem. Work is what propelled humanity to explore, understand and conquer the world around us. Human work is a requirement for the development of medicine, greener technologies, safer transportation and even space exploration and colonization.

If there are any problems about work, they are about making it more enjoyable, making good work more widely accessible and distributing the proceeds fairly.

That is the exact problem with the 4 hour workday and other forms of part-time work. As I've heard many people describe part-time work : 40% of the pay for 80% of the work.

Until that changes, I would not expect part-time work to happen for anyone but really high up managers where such a trade may actually make sense.
