If a four day work week is to become reality, we need to become more productive. A big part of that is tax reform.



By Jake Fuss and Alex Whalen, analysts at the Fraser Institute.



Here's a policy reform to get Canada to a 4-day workweek



High taxes on personal income create economic disincentives by lowering the aftertax financial reward for Canadians when they work an extra hour, invest in their education, or save and invest their money.



The idea of a four-day workweek has gained significant traction in Canada. According to an Angus Reid poll, the majority of Canadians surveyed last June agreed it would benefit the country to shorten the workweek in a post-COVID world. Since then, however, there's been little discussion about how to accomplish this feat.



Clearly, a four-day work week could raise the standard of living for Canadian workers by allowing them to enjoy more leisure time while maintaining or even increasing their compensation. But as noted in our new analysis published by the Fraser Institute, for this to happen, we Canadians must significantly improve our output per hour worked—or in other words, be more productive.



Which raises the obvious question. How can we become more productive?



For starters, tax reform remains one of the best ways to help increase overall productivity. Taxes can alter the behaviour of individuals and businesses. Indeed, high taxes discourage savings, investment, entrepreneurship and innovation. Currently, Canada ranks among the highest tax jurisdictions in the industrialized world for taxes on personal income, businesses and capital.



Due to our high marginal income tax rates, Canada faces a competitive disadvantage in attracting and retaining high-skilled workers and entrepreneurs — the people who drive innovation and job creation. Moreover, high taxes on personal income create economic disincentives by lowering the after-tax financial reward for Canadians when they work an extra hour, invest in their education, or save and invest their money.



Canada's uncompetitive business tax rates also create an economic environment that penalizes, rather than promotes, capital investment. Among OECD countries, Canada had the 10th highest business tax rate (2019) at 26.2 per cent — higher than countries such as the United States, Sweden and Denmark. This relatively high business tax rate discourages the investment necessary for advancements in labour productivity growth.



Finally, on capital gains taxes, Canada also performs poorly, with a capital gains tax rate higher than the average among OECD countries. The capital gains tax is one of the most damaging forms of taxation for the Canadian economy because it diminishes the reward entrepreneurs and investors can expect to receive from engaging in risk-taking activities such as creating new products, services and technologies. Discouraging such undertakings hurts the productivity growth necessary for a shorter workweek.



Clearly, reducing taxes on personal income, businesses and capital gains would represent an important first step towards a fourday work week by increasing our productivity. Canada would become a more attractive destination for educated immigrants in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields and enable our shift towards a more dynamic knowledge-based economy.



A four-day work week is only feasible for Canadians if we pursue policy reforms that make our economy more conducive to investment, innovation and entrepreneurship. Uncompetitive taxes on personal income, businesses and capital gains hinder our ability to achieve this worthwhile objective. Simply put, Canadian governments must reduce these taxes if we wish to shorten our workweek while maintaining the same levels of income compensation for Canadian workers.

The Congressional Budget Office found in 2019 that raising the minimum wage would potentially cost millions of jobs.



In an average week in 2025, the $15 option would boost the wages of 17 million workers who would otherwise earn less than $15 per hour. Another 10 million workers otherwise earning slightly more than $15 per hour might see their wages rise as well. But 1.3 million other workers would become jobless, according to CBO's median estimate. There is a two-thirds chance that the change in employment would be between about zero and a decrease of 3.7 million workers. The number of people with annual income below the poverty threshold in 2025 would fall by 1.3 million.

Dozens of Republican members of Congress wrote a letter to National Institutes of Health Acting Inspector General Christi Grimm on Tuesday demanding a "prompt and thorough investigation" into the NIH's relationship with a Chinese lab that studied coronaviruses.



The 28 lawmakers demanded Grimm investigate the total amount of funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has received from the NIH, as well as whether any NIH officials communicated with the lab or its U.S. sponsor at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to quell debate surrounding the theory that the virus could have accidentally escaped from the lab.

Chinese Man Ordered To Pay Wife Thousands For Housework



A Chinese man must pay his wife thousands of dollars for years of housework in a landmark ruling, according to a report from BBC.



The husband, identified by his surname Chen, filed for divorce from his wife, identified as Wang, in 2020 after marrying in 2015, according to the BBC.



Wang reportedly requested financial compensation for the divorce and argued that she bore responsibility for both childcare and housework.



Beijing's Fangshan District Court sided with Wang and ordered Chen to pay her monthly alimony of 2,000 yuan along with a one-time lump sum of 50,000 yuan ($7,700) for the housework she has done, according to the BBC.

She would get a lot more than that here.
