Australia could be getting a national trial of the four-day workweek to see how it improves the lives of those juggling work and caring responsibilities.

A parliamentary committee has recommended a federal government-backed trial of the four-day workweek based on the “100:80:100” model, which is where workers keep their entire salary and maintain full productivity despite working 80 per cent of the week.
