"It could be to do with working hours and working times, but it could be a lot of other things as well. `Like skipping homework`"I really don`t think that the six-hour day fits with an entrepreneurial world, or the start-up world," argues Erik Gatenholm, chief executive of Gothenburg-based bio-ink company. "I think the six-hour work day would be most effective in organisations - such as hospitals - where you work for six hours and then you just leave [the workplace] and go home. On a national level, the Left Party is the only parliamentary party in favour of shortening basic working hours, backed by just 6% of voters in Sweden`s last general election. The project`s independent researchers were also paid to study employees at a similar care home who continued to work regular days.
