Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between reductions in the length of the standard working week in Australian industry and employment and wages as they emerged in the period 1976-85. Reductions in standard working hours in Australia were seen by many as a means of reducing unemployment. The results obtained suggest that no general relationship existed between working time changes and employment levels, but rather varied between industries. The potentially divisive issue of the funding of work time changes is also examined.
