The strong preference for time-related solutions echoes what European research highlights:
⇒ Eurofound notes that “working hours have a direct bearing on standard of living, work–life balance and the overall sustainability of working life” (Eurofound).
⇒ And the European Economic and Social Committee confirms that “appropriate working-time arrangements can make enterprises more sustainable and improve their productivity… [and] have the greatest impact on people’s quality of life (well-being)” (EESC).
These insights mirror what we explore in DIAMOND: how working conditions, social innovations, and policies can shape not just jobs, but the way people live, learn, and grow.
