<p>Productivity has been the driving force behind the five- sometimes six-day workweek, but there is a growing body of evidence that shows a shorter week is equally, if not more productive in many respects. Juliet Schor is a champion of the four-day week and led the charge in the early 90s with her book <em>The Overworked American</em>, which studies the pitfalls of choosing money over time. Schor is an economist and sociologist at Boston College and heads the research for global trials of companies instituting four-day workweeks. Journalist Rhoda Metcalfe spoke with Juliet Schor about her four-day week mission, as part of our special Women in Economics series.  <a href= "https://traffic.libsyn.com/imfpodcast/Juliet_Schor-transcript-IMF_Podcast.pdf"> Transcript</a>: https://bit.ly/3SHgPRR</p>
