The 35-hour working week is a measure adopted first in France, in February 2000, under Prime Minister Lionel Jospin's Plural Left government. It was pushed by Minister of Labour Martine Aubry.
The 35 hours was the legal standard limit, after which further working time was to be considered overtime.
Rationale
The main stated objectives of the law were twofold:
To reduce unemployment and yield a better division of labor, in a context where some people work long hours while some others are unemployed. A 10.2% decrease in the hours extracted from each worker would, theoretically, require firms to hire correspondingly more workers, a remedy for unemployment.
To take advantage of improvements in productivity of modern society to give workers some more personal time to enhance quality of life.

Introduced in 2000 to boost job creation, the 35-hour working week remains a deeply divisive issue here in France. The right wing and business representatives say it’s the root cause of France’s economic woes. Defenders say it’s improved the well-being of workers and productivity. Over time, the law has been watered down, meaning that on average, French employees work a lot more than 35 hours a week.

Kids & Play: "35-Hour Work Week, 50-Minute Break"
This week in Eye on Chicago, CBS 2's original video series, we tackle the topic of learning and play. Is more time in the classroom the key to children's academic success, or does sitting for long periods of time hinder learning?
We know adults have a hard time sitting still all day and that it's not good for our bodies or minds. Why do we enforce the same model in our schools?

The 35-hour working week is a measure adopted first in France, in February 2000, under Prime Minister Lionel Jospin's Plural Left government. It was pushed by Minister of Labour Martine Aubry.
The 35 hours was the legal standard limit, after which further working time was to be considered overtime.
Rationale
The main stated objectives of the law were twofold:
To reduce unemployment and yield a better division of labor, in a context where some people work long hours while some others are unemployed. A 10.2% decrease in the hours extracted from each worker would, theoretically, require firms to hire correspondingly more workers, a remedy for unemployment.
To take advantage of improvements in productivity of modern society to give workers some more personal time to enhance quality of life.
Radio station 2GB sparked further debate by suggesting that the unions' demands - a 32 per cent pay rise over four years and a reduction to a 35-hour workweek - would result in train drivers earning hefty salaries ... 'They drive trains ... 'Wow. sign me up ... .
Unemployment Rates. 4.2% ... Average hourly earnings for all employees rose 13 cents (0.4%) to $35.61. The average workweek edged up by 0.1 hour to 34.3 hours ... MajorIndustryEmployment. Notable Gains and Losses. Healthcare and Social Assistance ... -28,000 ... U.S.
According to the state telecommunications office, the average hourly pay for a 911 Dispatcher in Michigan is $22.23 but can range from $13.41 to $35.41. Swick said Miller left for the four-day workweek and daytime hours, not because of wages.
