The NEF argues to achieve more satisfying lives we need to challenge social norms and reset the industrial clock in our heads. It sees the 21-hour week as integral to this for two reasons: it will redistribute paid work, offering the hope of a more equal society (right now too many are overworked, or underemployed). At the same time, it would give us all time for the things we value but rarely have time to do well such as care for our family, travel, read or continue learning (as opposed to merely consuming).
The Case For A 21-Hour Work Week | Co.Exist: World changing ideas and innovation
It does seem clear to me that in the ever more automated world that we live in there simply is not actually enough work that must be done by humans to sustain the working hours we have now. This would definitely be one way to fix that.
