The Central Institute for Labour Protection will examine how reducing the workweek might affect workplace accidents and employee health.
Stanecki stressed that despite the many positive effects of a shorter workweek, studying its long-term impacts is crucial.
Most studies indicate benefits like improved sleep and work-life balance, yet concerns remain about sustaining high productivity over time.
Work Hours in 2030: Expert predictions
"I have reviewed all available sources on work hours since the 19th century and believe that reducing work hours is a change that is inevitable," said Marcin Stanecki.
He mentioned that experts predict work hours will drop to just 15 hours per week by 2030, and if Elon Musk's forecasts are correct, by 2050, only those who want to work full-time will do so.
Stanecki highlighted that remote work has proven effective in Poland, especially on an occasional basis, and suggested increasing its limit.
Additionally, regarding Sunday trade, he acknowledged that opinions are divided and stressed the need for appropriate compensation for working on this day.
