Abstract

[fre] Le modèle économétrique, estimé entre 1959 et 1979, explique le taux de variation annuelle de la durée hebdomadaire du travail dans une branche par le taux de croissance de la production et la formation de capital fixe que l'on y observe. La relation positive obtenue entre les investissements réalisés et la baisse de la durée du travail est prépondérante par rapport à la composante conjoncturelle exprimant l'adaptation de la quantité d'heures de travail requises au volume de production. Il semble, par conséquent, que la réduction du temps de travail soit autorisée par les changements structurels apportés à l'appareil productif, à travers la substitution du travail par le capital, l'utilisation plus intensive de l'équipement et l'extension du travail en équipes. [eng] The econometric model, titted between 1959 and 1979, explains the annual fluctuation rate of the working week in an economic branch by the production growth rate and the fixed capital formation which are observed in. The positive relationship obtained between investment spending and working time reduction plays a leading part compared with the conjunctural effect which adjusts total working hours needed to production level. Consequently, it seems that cut in hours of work is allowed by structural modifications brought to the productive system, through substitution of labour by capital, more intensive use of equipment and development of shiftworking.
