I strongly believe that money is not the variable that has to change in the equation. I'd change the minimum amount of hours required to qualify for a full-time job (e.g. 40h / week).
Most of us aren't %100 productive from 8am to 5pm. Meaning, employers wouldn't really see much difference. If you reduce a 40hour week to a 20hour week, maintaining the same salary for each employee, people would have more free time. More time to do something awesome, etc. While maintaining the same level of income. That's what we should be aiming for and it wouldn't require a dramatic change in our society.

My 2 cents.
