- Descripción
- Does working time affect workers' health? We study this question in the context of a French reform which reduced the standard workweek from 39 to 35 hours, at constant earnings. Our empirical analysis exploits arguably exogenous variation in the reduction of working time across employers, which was driven by the institutional features of the reform. We find that shorter working hours reduce smoking and increase self-reported health, and that these impacts are concentrated among blue-collar workers. In contrast, white-collar workers' body mass index decreases with reduced working time.
