Some 200 companies, employing anywhere between 3-6k workers in total, are expected to participate in the project\u2019s first round, Tejero says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about productivity?<\/strong> Though workers in Spain generally put in more hours than the European average, the country as a whole is not one of the most productive. \u201cWorking more hours does not mean working better,\u201d says M\u00e1s Pa\u00eds MP I\u00f1igo Errej\u00f3n. The project\u2019s less material benefits include improving workers\u2019 mental, physical and emotional health, fighting climate change, and enhancing work-life balance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will this work out?<\/strong> Unsurprisingly, right wing lawmakers view the proposal as \u201cmadness,\u201d and maintain that the path out of the country\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-spain-economy-gdp-idUSKCN24W0WF\">worst recession since the civil war<\/a> requires more, not less work.
