MEXICO CITY, Mexico: Mexico is laying the groundwork to reduce its standard work week from 48 to 40 hours by 2030, Labor and Social Security Minister Marath Bolanos announced this week.
At a Labor Day event, Bolanos said a series of forums will be held across the country from June to July to shape a proposal for the phased implementation.
While the push to shorten work hours has gained momentum, previous attempts have stumbled in Congress. A 2023 bill proposing the change was delayed due to opposition, and progress stalled again in 2024. The legislation has yet to be approved.
The measure forms part of a broader labor reform initiative under President Claudia Sheinbaum.
