” Perhaps following the lead of other Scandinavian countries, where a six-hour workday is common.” Not in Sweden. 40h per week here means fulltime.

I've worked primarily with Norwegians for most of my working like, but have also worked in projects in Sweden, Denmark and Finland - I've never come across this mythical 6-hour workday?
I don't know where they got that idea from, both in Denmark and Norway it isn't like that at all in most places. The grass is greener I guess.
Nobody has six hour workday and nobody thinks anybody has that. It’s only in the imagination of the writer of this marginally factual article.
