Other countries have gone further. In Germany, for example, the federal government’s Kurzarbeit program makes up a significant fraction of the difference when, owing to short hours, a worker’s earnings fall by more than 10%.
其他国家在这方面走得更远。例如在德国，联邦政府的缩短工时（Kurzarbeit）项目规定如果一个劳动者因为工时缩短而导致收入下降超过10%时，政府将给予占该下降幅度相当一部份的补偿。
