BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 21. Some
European countries have switched to a 4-day work week, and this
topic should be discussed in Azerbaijan, Deputy Minister of Economy
Elnur Aliyev said, Trend reports.
He made the remark during “The role of the state in
the transition from oil capital to human capital” panel discussion
within the framework of the “Human Resources Summit 2023” forum
“The stated and real intentions regarding the
introduction of a 4-day work regime in Azerbaijan are different.
While the intended intention is for people to have a lot of free
time, the true motive is for entrepreneurs to save their finances.
Thus, this issue is bilateral,” Aliyev said.
“Some countries are implementing it as a pilot
project. The 4-day operation mode should be thoroughly studied. The
Ministry of Economy cannot solve this issue alone. Moreover, it can
be considered differently in different countries,” he said.
The “Human Resources Summit 2023” forum has started
its work in Baku today.
