First, massive unemployment is coming. There is less and less need for work, there is no escaping it. In the extreme, voluntary work will be enough. That is, nobody really works, except the few that want to contribute. Or perhaps the majority would contribute a couple hours per week.
So that's the ideal case. Now what about the transition, where there is too much work to rely on volunteering alone, yet too little for everyone to work full time?
One easy solution is to reduce the length of the work-week. Starting with 4 days (32 hours) right now would be a start. Later 3 days. Then 2. (Now that's an average: one could concentrate those work days on the summer or winter when it makes sense.)
