Working couples, especially families with young children, need more shopping days not fewer to buy food and clothing for their kids. This is really the worst suggestion that I have read in a long time!
Oh, by the way, the world economy is now in a crisis state and most governments are thinking about a temporary lowering of their VATs, etc. to encourage more consumer spending not less. Consumer spending provides funds for goods and services so people can continue to be employed.
We already have many more weeks of free time than most countries and 25% now do not have enough money to meet their bill payments. All this in a land where most folks don't want to work more than 3 days a week. We keep this up and the Dutch economy will lapse into a state where all workers will have 24/7 to hug away all they want.
So please Expatica, think through such ideas first so that you can balance this report with the very serious downside of this suggestion.
