Holiday .The workweek and weekend are those complementary parts of the week devoted to labour and rest respectively. The legal working week (
British English), or workweek (
U.S. English), is the part of the seven-day week devoted to labour. In most
Western countries it is
Monday to Friday.
Weekend is a time period including Saturday and Sunday. Some people extend the weekend to Friday nights as well. In some
Christian traditions, Sunday is the "
Lord's Day" and the day of rest and worship. In other Christian traditions, they recognize the solar calendar and their day of rest is from noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday[citation needed].
Jewish Shabbat or
Biblical Sabbath lasts from sunset on Friday to the fall of full darkness on Saturday, leading to a Friday-Saturday weekend in
Israel.
Muslim-majority countries usually have a Thursday-Friday or Friday-Saturday weekend.
The French Revolutionary Calendar had ten-day weeks (called décades) and allowed décadi, one out of the ten days, as a leisure day.
Weekends count as holidays.
The present-day concept of the weekend first arose from the
Dies Solis (
Day of the Sun) decreed by
Constantine and from Biblical Sabbath.[citation needed]
The Christian Sabbath itself was just one day each week, but the preceding day (the
Jewish Sabbath) also came to be taken as a holiday in the twentieth century. This shift has been accompanied by a reduction in the total number of hours worked per week, following changes in employer expectations. Proposals have continued to be put forward for further reductions in the number of days or hours worked per week, on the basis of predicted social and economic benefits.In cultures with a six-day work week, the day of rest derives from the main religious tradition:
Sunday (Christian), Saturday (Jewish), or Friday (Muslim).The first five-day work week in
America was instituted by a
New England cotton mill to afford Jewish workers the ability to adhere to their own religious Sabbath.In 1926
Henry Ford began shutting down his automotive factories for all of Saturday and Sunday. In 1929 the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America was the first union to demand a five-day work week and receive it. After that, the rest of the
United States slowly followed, but it was not until
1940 that the two-day weekend began nationwide.
Actual work week lengths have been falling in the developed world. Every reduction of the length of the work week has been accompanied by an increase in real per-capita income
.In the United States, the work week length reduced slowly from before the
Civil War to the turn of the
20th century. A rapid reduction took place from
1900 to
1920, especially between 1913 and
1919, when weekly hours fell by about eight percent. In 1926, Henry Ford standardized on a five-day workweek, instead of the prevalent six days, without reducing employees' pay.
Hours worked stabilized at about 49 per week during the
1920s, and during the
Great Depression fell below 40. During the
Depression,
President Herbert Hoover called for a reduction in work hours in lieu of layoffs.
Later,
President Franklin Roosevelt signed the
Fair Labor Standards Act of
1938, which established a five-day, 40-hour workweek for many workers. The proportion of people working very long weeks has since risen, and the full-time employment of women has increased dramatically. Hours worked per capita in the US increased 20 percent from
1970 to
2002.
The New Economics
Foundation has recommended moving to a 21 hour standard work week to address problems with unemployment, high carbon emissions, low well-being, entrenched inequalities, overworking, family care, and the general lack of free time. Other economists are concerned that shortening the work week will unfairly limit individual earning potential and weaken developed economies due to competition from the less regulated developing world.
The Center for Economic and
Policy Research states that reducing the length of the work week would slow climate change and have other environmental benefits.
In general,
Colombia has a 48 hour work week. Depending on the business, people work five days for about 9.6 hours per day, typically Monday through Friday, or six days for eight hours a day, Monday through Saturday.
In Europe, the standard full-time working week begins on Monday and ends on Friday. Most retail shops are open for business on Saturday. In
Ireland,
Finland,
Sweden, the
Netherlands and the former socialist states of
Europe, large shopping centres open on Sunday
. In the Netherlands, however, there is controversy involving political parties, especially the
SGP, tend to disagree with it. In
European countries such as
Germany, there are laws regulating shop hours. With exceptions, shops must be closed on
Sundays and from
midnight until the early morning.
