Mallorca 2035: Between Bed Reductions and a Return to Small-Scale Farming

Answer

Would a 30-hour work week make sense in Mallorca?

It is being discussed as a pilot idea, especially for seasonal sectors where workloads change through the year. Supporters see it as a way to improve work-life balance and make jobs more sustainable, but it would need productivity gains and training to work in practice. It is not being presented as an immediate island-wide change.
