Issue The plan targets OECD-average working hours, halving wage arrears and extending the retirement age

Summary

Within its basic society agenda the plan sets explicit goals for working life. It aims to bring annual working hours down to the OECD average and to cut wage arrears by half. It also lists extending the retirement age and supporting parents with childcare as part of the same package. The strategy chart describes these aims as shortening actual working hours to the OECD level, reducing unpaid wages and realising a society that respects labour, alongside work and life balance. Related national tasks call for respect for labour and guaranteed basic labour rights, and for workplaces where work, family and life coexist.
