  Description	This article examines whether the Netherlands can transition to a four-day workweek by drawing parallels with the 1960s shift from six to five working days. Today's debate mirrors past concerns about labor shortages and gender participation. However, it is questionable whether a four-day week is feasible without significant productivity gains like the automation that enabled the 1960s transition.
