"More than 1 per cent of Iceland’s working population took part in the pilot
programme which cut the working week to 35-36 hours with no reduction in
overall pay.

Joint analysis by think-tanks in Iceland and the UK found that the trials,
which ran from 2015 to 2019 and involved more than 2,500 people, boosted
productivity and wellbeing and are already leading to permanent changes."
