?People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week — perhaps 11 hours a day.” he said.

　　Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long-lived pensioners(领养老金者).

　　He appeared to be suggesting that these short-week workers earned the same as they did full-time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican telecommunications company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four-day weeks on full pay.

　　Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks at reduced pay — eight or nine hours a day rather than 11. Their companies might benefit from keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. What about everyone else? There are those who are unemployed, or in tenuous jobs, and who would be delighted to have three secure, wellpaid days of work a week.

　　Others in hospitals, supermarkets and petrol stations have to work at night, as well as on the weekend that Ford made rest time for his employees.

　　But a shorter week would work for many others if their companies agree to it.

　　I have managed about a dozen working parents working three or four days a week. They have, in almost all cases, been more productive and industrious than their colleagues working five days a week. They were generally more focused and better-organised.
