Should Taiwan implement a three-day weekend?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should Taiwan implement a three-day weekend?". Your opponent's style: Normal peole
I support this system because there were lot of experiments in other country and the results such as efficiency and happiness are rising
You're citing vague "experiments" as proof, but that's exactly backward. Those studies measure *correlation in controlled conditions*, not causation in Taiwan's actual economy. Iceland's trial worked for a small, homogeneous workforce. Japan's four-day week applies to select companies, not nationwide. Scale these up, and labor shortages, service gaps, and wage pressure explode. You're also confusing individual worker happiness with *systemic sustainability*. Someone feels happier on Friday, sure. But if three-day implementation collapses Taiwan's manufacturing export competitiveness or forces wage cuts, that happiness evaporates fast. Which specific experiment matches Taiwan's export-dependent, 24/7 service-economy structure? Name one that scaled successfully in a comparable economy. You haven't.
