| Tiivistelmä: | The paper investigates the effects of the February 1, 1982, mandatory reduction of weekly working hours in France. The workweek was then reduced to from 40 to 39 hours. The paper shows that workers employed 40 hours and above in March 1981 were more likely to lose their jobs between 1981 and 1982 than workers employed 36-39 hours in March 1981. The authorsÂ’ estimates of the impact of this one-hour reduction on employment losses vary between 2 percent and 4 percent. Minimum-wage workers were most affected by the changes. |
