There is evidence that backs that up...................initially but a 4 day week has not been monitored for a great length of time.
Even in the shortish studies that been done Productivity does go up at the start, due to the excitement of the change and the need to get the same amount of work, and more, done in a shorter time frame. But as the novelty wears off and the 4 days become the norm, there is evidence that productivity falls.

Some sectors may not be able to participate, or certainly there would be challenges, in the public sector of policing, NHS etc, as costs would rise as more would have to be employed, and the retail sector may struggle.
