And of course, while maintaining the terms of the labor contract - both on wages and the size of the work week. In the future, there may be a decrease in this working week. This will depend on the specific situation in the economy and on specific types of industries, which, one way or another, need to be discussed.
- specified Medvedev.
This is not just about switching to a four-day or some other working week, but about creating a more flexible framework for labor legislation.

It would be right for our labor legislation to become more flexible, that is, more in line with the spirit of economic relations that are taking shape in the XNUMXst century, in the digital age. But, of course, while maintaining the classic, traditional institutions.
