This article aims to demonstrate the inadequateness of the New-Keynesian microeconomic models used to estimate the potential impacts on employment of working time reduction policy. The present paper is organized as follows: the first section presents the principal consequences of the application of working time reduction policies since 1996 in France. The second section describes the main theoretical results of the application of the orthodox models, focusing on the insufficiency of these analysis that simply neglect the important influence of the expected evolution of labor productivity on the results of a working time reduction policy. Finally, evoking the marxist tradition, the last section presents an interpretation that is intended to clarify the fundamental nexus between the processes of working time reduction, intensification of work and augmentation of labor productivity.
