Narayana Murthy’s 70-hour work week model: ILO says countries increasingly shifting to 40-hour work weeks

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has clarified that no national law in any country mandates a 70-hour work-week. Developed nations are adopting the ILO's latest convention, which sets a 40-hour work-week instead of the previous 48-hour work convention ratified by several countries, including India, back in 1921.
