Only 22% of Kirov residents agree to a six-day workweek with an eight-hour workday.

      It turned out that even with an eight-hour workday, the idea of a six-day workweek does not meet with widespread support. Only 22% of respondents stated that they are willing to work six days a week. The main condition is that the sixth working day must be paid at the standard rate. At the same time, 62% of those surveyed responded with a categorical refusal. They value their weekends more than the potential extra earnings. Men agree to a six-day workweek more often: 25% compared to 18% among women. Women from Kirov explain their position: "When will we live?!", "The family will be neglected, and what to do with the child?! The kindergarten doesn't operate on Saturday." Willingness to work six days a week decreases with age. Among employees under 35, 26% are willing, while among those over 45, only 15% are. The level of education also matters. Among Kirov residents with higher education, 16% agree to a six-day workweek, while among those with secondary vocational education, the figure is 27%. As for income, the relationship is nonlinear. Among those earning up to 100,000 rubles a month, 17% are ready to increase their workload. Among those whose income exceeds 150,000 rubles, the proportion of those willing is higher—22%. The survey was conducted among citizens working on a 5-day week schedule.
