Would shorter working time reduce greenhouse gas emissions? An analysis of time use and consumption in Swedish households (2015, methodology): “Schor (2005) conducted a rudimentary analysis using data from eighteen OECD countries, linking national ecological footprints and average hours per employee, and found a significant positive correlation.”

Working time reduction policy in a sustainable economy: criteria and options for its design. (2014, background): “Structural factors tend to mean employers prefer long hours per employee and so resist working time reductions (Schor, 2005, pp. 43–45), and how to maximise the fit between the interests of employers and an accelerated programme of working time reduction is still an unsolved issue.”
