Three reasons are given in the passage to show the advantage of such a policy.
First, company will obtain more profits since that employees' working effiency could be improved due to good rest by choosing this option. But the professor rejected this explanation in the lecture. Company may invest more money into hiring new employees, which means more training and work place would be needed. So the cost of running business can increase.
Second, the professor also disagrees with the unemployment aspect. As explained before, company will take the potential cost into consideration so they may not recrute new staff as expected.
Last but not the least, the professor makes the point that working four days a week cannot guarentee the improvement of life quality. On the one hand, employees will have less opportunity to improve his or her job ability and thus lose the opportunity of attaining a higher position. On the other hand, what is worse is that the workers choose the new schedual tend to be more likely to be fired in a economy recession.
