Information about Work Week

For information regarding the development of the 40-hour, 5-day workweek see the working time article.
The legal workweek (in the UK called the Working week) varies from nation to nation. The set of working days is usually heavily influenced by the predominant religion of the country or by colonial history. Most countries in Europe, the Americas, and East Asia have a legal work week defined as Monday through Friday.

The legal work week in the Middle East is either Saturday through Wednesday (as in Algeria[1] and Saudi Arabia[2]), Saturday through Thursday (as in Iran[3],[4]) or Sunday through Thursday (as in Egypt[5], Syria[6] and Israel).
