DURATION OF WORKING TIME, A SENSITIVE SUBJECT FOR THE PUBLIC POLICY MAKER

Summary/Abstract: Working time is an essential element of the labor relationship that is the subject of negotiations between the social partners, unions, employers and government factors, through which the harmonization of the employer's interests with those of the employees is sought. The interests of the parties are different: on the one hand, employees aim for increased quality of life and social protection through reduced working time, and on the other hand, employers aim for economic growth, supported by long and quality working time. In the present study, we carry out an analysis of working time highlighted at the level of 33 states, differentiated by category women, respectively men, but also regarding the preferences of employees regarding the reconsideration of working time. We will make assessments regarding Romania's situation in all the analyzed states in order to outline a clear picture of the position we have on the labor market, being a working tool for public policy makers.
