It is not known that women get lower earnings than men for the equal work.

Because of their overall greater total work contribution women have less free time than men.

The problem is that total compensation did not go down in proportion to the shorter hours, thus leading to an increase in pay per hour.

Some Chinese argue that anything less than 8 growth would be inadequate to ensure sufficient job creation and fend off social instability.

In other words, they obtained shorter hours (i.e., more vacations) in order to keep employment up.

Then we would require only a certain amount of work much less than we perform now to satisfy all reasonable needs.
