BBC World Service - Business Daily, A Work-Life Balance

Should we be working less to achieve more?

Should we be working less to achieve more? Maddy Savage reports from Sweden, where workers are trying to balance the traditional outdoor life with longer working hours and increased screen time. Silicon Valley consultant Alex Soojung-Kim Pang puts forward his argument for working less and taking 'active rest' in order to get more done. And could you save time by outsourcing your life?  University of California, Berkeley sociologist Arlie Hochschild talks about her research into the rise of outsourcing careers in the United States.
