In Germany they found a recipe for saving the economy: simply offer the Germans to work more.
The head of the German Economy Ministry, Katharina Reiche, called on her citizens to reconsider the usual balance between work and rest in order to return the country to leadership. According to her, the current schedule is a luxury that cannot be achieved due to the economic difficulties.
The press has already linked the initiative to expert assessments that an additional 20 minutes of work per day will help the budget. True, while the government plans to save GDP, German unions are clearly in no rush to replace a legal coffee break with shock work.
