The Mexican businessman Carlos Slim expressed this Thursday in Avilés the need to implement a twelve-hour work day, three days a week and delay retirement until age 75, in order to accommodate a greater number of people in the labor market. workers.
Carlos Slim expressed himself in statements to the media in Avilés, where he is participating in the XXVIII Plenary Meeting of the Círculo Montevideo Foundation, of which he is a part. He did so when asked regarding his opinion regarding the reduction in working hours proposed in the PSOE and Sumar Government agreement.
“I think that reducing the schedule like that is nonsense; I think that what I know, I have said it several times, is that you have to work three days, twelve hours a day, three days to make room for three other people to work the other three days and retire at seventy-five, not at sixty-five or sixty,” the businessman indicated.
Carlos Slim has recalled that “we are living longer” and in all the countries in the world that have social, pension and retirement policies, the labor liabilities caused by retirement are very high, well above the resources of the State. “It is very important that retirement is not so early,” he insisted.
The businessman has highlighted the need to integrate the entire population into the economic and labor system and has stressed that the best investment is to combat poverty, which is why he sees it as reasonable for them to work fewer hours to make room for other workers.
He has also highlighted that artificial intelligence (AI) is going to increase productivity and this is going to create a little more problem for employment.
“Then you have to do what I mentioned, work fewer days, three days, not four, not five, three, more hours, more years, and by having many people, which will cause new demand for new activities, entertainment will to be important, sport, etc.”, said Carlos Slim who has insisted that “it is fundamental, it is necessary for marginalized people to join the economy, with good education, training and work.”
Regarding the war conflicts that are being experienced, the Mexican businessman considers that “they are irrational situations that should not occur.”
