摘要翻译：
近年来，人们一直在争论减少工作时间是否是解决技术变革造成的失业的可行办法。现有生产技术的改进正逐渐被视为减少劳动力需求。尽管这一辩论几十年来一直处于前沿，但欧洲联盟面临的高失业率和持续失业率使人们重新有兴趣执行这项政策，以增加就业。根据减少工时的倡导者的说法，这项政策将增加生产过程中所需的工人数量，增加就业。然而，主张减少工作时间的人所表达的矛盾是，劳动力成本的增加将导致商业活动的减少，最终导致对人力资源需求的减少。在这篇文章中，我们将试图回答这样一个问题，即减少工作时间是否是应对技术变革导致的潜在就业下降的一种方式。为了回答这个问题，将审查前述相互矛盾的观点。正如我们在对现有实证研究的统计审查中所看到的那样，减少工作时间并不能增加就业，也不能被视为解决长期失业的办法。

英文摘要：
  In recent years, it has been debated whether a reduction in working hours would be a viable solution to tackle the unemployment caused by technological change. The improvement of existing production technology is gradually being seen to reduce labor demand. Although this debate has been at the forefront for many decades, the high and persistent unemployment encountered in the European Union has renewed interest in implementing this policy in order to increase employment. According to advocates of reducing working hours, this policy will increase the number of workers needed during the production process, increasing employment. However, the contradiction expressed by advocates of working time reduction is that the increase in labor costs will lead to a reduction in business activity and ultimately to a reduction in demand for human resources. In this article, we will attempt to answer the question of whether reducing working hours is a way of countering the potential decline in employment due to technological change. In order to answer this question, the aforementioned conflicting views will be examined. As we will see during our statistical examination of the existing empirical studies, the reduction of working time does not lead to increased employment and cannot be seen as a solution to the long-lasting unemployment.
