Introduction -- Portuguese labor market -- Empirical analysis -- Conclusions
Resumen: December 1, 1996 the standard workweek in Portugal was reduced from 44 hours to 40 hours. We study how this mandatory reduction affected employment and wages. We find that the working hours’ reduction increased hourly wage of workers involved, keeping monthly earnings approximately constant. The working hours reduction did not lead to job loss of workers directly affected but may have caused negative employment effects for workers working less than 40 hours per week.
