Australia could be getting a national trial of the four-day work week to see how it improves the lives of those juggling work and caring responsibilities.
A parliamentary committee has recommended a federal government-backed trial of the four-day work week based on the "100:80:100" model, which is where workers keep their entire salary and maintain full productivity despite working 80 per cent of the week.
The pilot would be spread across industries and conducted in partnership with an Australian university.
