I forgot to ask about something last time although I did have quite a lot of questions so I can be forgiven, namely the four-day working week and looking at flexibility for everyone. I ask because of the importance of caring. As I said at last week's meeting, children are often seen as hampering women in the workforce in circumstances where we have not organised our society to take account of the fact that people want to spend time with their children. If we were to look at reducing the work hours that everyone does in general, particularly as we come to a more digitised society with less manual labour and full employment, that we could see full employment and more time to spend with families.
