Should the working days be reduced from 5 days per week to 4 days per week? Would it contract or expand the economy?

Life is not static, so are life events. But, if any nation wants to reduce its working days per week from five days to four days, a thorough research must be be conducted to ascertain the fallouts. Would it be economical to their economy? Could it improve the mental health of their citizens? These two questions and others too numerous to mention will fly in the air and must be completely answered before its commencement. There are many ways to approach this concept, the hours could be increased as the days are reduced to four days.   This is a high risk venture, therefore, it should be discussed at the United Nation (U.N.) level with inputs from all participating nations before kick starting it. Truly, I will welcome it but, the hours per week must increase correspondingly. At granular level, we should examine its impacts on the economy and mental health. Clinically and economically, a nation with a minimal mental health conundrum will be very productive. But, the reverse is a nose-dive into an abysmal pit. Your thoughts?

Policies of a society or government are subject to changes. Nevertheless, it can be sustainable when it doesn't negate present reality. Certainly, a lot of research was done by those who conceived the resolution of the universal five working days. Obviously, a thorough and extensive research must be done to change the current working days per week. And it must accommodate the mental health issues of citizens and the economic impact of the country in particular.    The effect of  the mental health of workers depends on the their hour inputs. So the less hour they put, the better for their health. On the other hand, more working hours benefits the economy immensely. Seriously, if the five working days must be reduced. It's imperative appropriate global and national institutions put measures in place to checkmate the adverse effect it will have on the economy or workers mental health issues. A narrowed mental health issue will obviously enhance the development of any economy. Logically, the five working days resolution was really thought of and may reduce mental health issues depending on the approved working hours per day. A reduced four working days may increase mental health issues and also reduce economic output.
