English: 'a brave and progressive approach to policy making and long-term thinking that puts diversity, the well-being economy, tackling emissions and biodiversity loss, and life-long learning at the forefront of our minds.' On the subject of the future generations commissioner, I'm aware of work by her office, in partnership with the think tank Autonomy, relating to a four-day week and a universal basic income in Wales. It would be informative and essential to see the full reports so that they may help to shape this debate around these progressive ideas. Any updates from the Government on those reports today would be welcome. Many of us will have been in jobs where we have experienced burnout. If you are lucky enough not to have had that, then you're very likely to know somebody who has. UK Government statistics from 2019-20 reveal that more than half of work-related ill health that year was due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety. Our current model of working is causing untold harm to workers, so a reduced working week could help cut levels of overwork and stress. A four-day working week is part of the antidote to the problem caused by the stress of modern life. It will improve mental well-being, as it will allow people more free time to relax. I am the Plaid Cymru spokesperson on communities, and I'm excited by the potential impact a four-day working week would have on communities throughout Wales, as it would increase the opportunities for volunteering. It would improve mental well-being, physical health and people's outlook on life. We know this from the trials in Utah, which, after a 12-month experiment, showed increased levels of volunteering. This sustains the idea that many of our workers want to be involved in transforming society for the better, if they are given the chance. To achieve these many gains for people in society, we need to ensure some principles and policies are in place. There should be no loss of pay, first and foremost. There should be the provision of green spaces, especially in disadvantaged areas, and Gwern y Domen in Caerphilly basin springs to mind as a place that we should preserve. There should be increased funding for theatres and arts to encourage public participation, and we should expand libraries, community centres and sports grounds to offer more zero-carbon activities in local communities. There should be greater support for education and training possibilities for adults so that they can be combined with more free time to boost skills.
Welsh: 'dull dewr a blaengar o lunio polisïau a meddwl yn hirdymor sy'n rhoi amrywiaeth, yr economi lesiant, mynd i'r afael ag allyriadau a cholli bioamrywiaeth, a dysgu gydol oes ar flaen ein meddyliau.' Ar fater comisiynydd cenedlaethau'r dyfodol, rwy'n ymwybodol o waith ei swyddfa, mewn partneriaeth â'r felin drafod Autonomy, sy'n ymwneud ag wythnos pedwar diwrnod ac incwm sylfaenol cyffredinol yng Nghymru. Byddai'n addysgiadol ac yn hanfodol gweld yr adroddiadau llawn fel y gallant helpu i lunio'r ddadl o amgylch y syniadau blaengar hyn. Byddai'n dda cael unrhyw ddiweddariadau gan y Llywodraeth ar yr adroddiadau hynny heddiw. Bydd llawer ohonom wedi bod mewn swyddi lle cawsom brofiad o fod wedi ein gorweithio. Os ydych chi'n ddigon ffodus i beidio â bod wedi profi hynny, mae'n debygol iawn eich bod yn adnabod rhywun sydd wedi profi hynny. Mae ystadegau Llywodraeth y DU o 2019-20 yn dangos bod mwy na hanner yr afiechyd sy'n gysylltiedig â gwaith y flwyddyn honno'n deillio o straen, iselder neu orbryder yn gysylltiedig â gwaith. Mae ein model gweithio presennol yn achosi niwed di-ben-draw i weithwyr, felly gallai wythnos waith fyrrach helpu i leihau lefelau gorweithio a straen. Mae wythnos waith pedwar diwrnod yn rhan o'r ateb i'r broblem a achosir gan straen bywyd modern. Bydd yn gwella lles meddyliol, gan y bydd yn caniatáu mwy o amser rhydd i bobl ymlacio. Rwy'n llefarydd Plaid Cymru ar gymunedau, ac rwy'n gyffrous ynglŷn â'r effaith bosibl y byddai wythnos waith pedwar diwrnod yn ei chael ar gymunedau ledled Cymru, gan y byddai'n cynyddu'r cyfleoedd ar gyfer gwirfoddoli. Byddai'n gwella lles meddyliol, iechyd corfforol a'r ffordd y mae pobl yn edrych ar eu bywydau. Gwyddom hyn o'r treialon yn Utah, a ddangosodd lefelau uwch o wirfoddoli ar ôl arbrawf 12 mis. Mae hyn yn ategu'r syniad fod llawer o'n gweithwyr am fod yn rhan o'r broses o drawsnewid cymdeithas er gwell, os cânt y cyfle. Er mwyn sicrhau'r enillion niferus hyn i bobl mewn cymdeithas, mae angen inni sicrhau bod rhai egwyddorion a pholisïau ar waith. Ni ddylid colli cyflog, yn bennaf oll. Dylid darparu mannau gwyrdd, yn enwedig mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig, ac mae Gwern y Domen yn nalgylch Caerffili yn dod i'r meddwl fel lle y dylem ei warchod. Dylid cael mwy o arian ar gyfer theatrau a'r celfyddydau i annog cyfranogiad y cyhoedd, a dylem ehangu llyfrgelloedd, canolfannau cymunedol a meysydd chwaraeon i gynnig mwy o weithgareddau di-garbon mewn cymunedau lleol. Dylid cael mwy o gefnogaeth i bosibiliadau addysg a hyfforddiant i oedolion fel y gellir eu cyfuno â mwy o amser rhydd i hybu sgiliau.
