Proposed 24-hour economy set to create jobs

As the Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs seeks to have Parliament approve about P1.1 billion as part of the National Development Plan 12 (NDP12), the ministry says it will introduce the 24-hour economy that is divided into eight-hour shifts.

Presenting their NDP12 budget before the house this week, Minister of Labour and Home Affairs Pius Mokgware revealed that the 24-hour economy they believe will create job opportunities, allow for improved productivity, efficiency, and health and safety in the workplace.
