Lithuanian Economist Proposes Six-Day Work Week for Ministries, Criticizes Government Solutions

Vilnius University professor and economist Boguslav Gruževskis has advocated for a six-day work week in Lithuanian ministries, arguing that the country faces too many unresolved issues for a standard five-day schedule. He believes this change is necessary to tackle the nation's complex problems effectively.

Gruževskis specifically criticized the government's handling of pension increases and the ongoing debate about extending the retirement age. He described the current approach as the "easiest solution for lazy and incompetent people," suggesting it fails to address the root causes of economic challenges.

Speaking on the program "Delfi savaitė," Gruževskis emphasized the urgency of addressing the country's problems. He implied that a more rigorous work ethic within government institutions is essential for developing and implementing more robust and effective solutions.
