Mexico is preparing to reduce its standard workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 under a labor reform pushed by President Claudia Sheinbaum’s incoming administration. The proposal, aimed at improving work-life balance and workers’ quality of life, will begin implementation in 2026 and be carried out gradually over four years.
The announcement comes after years of public debate and pressure from labor rights . . .
