The world's richest man is calling for a radical overhaul of our work-life balance that would see people at their jobs for just three days a week.

Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecom tycoon worth over US$80 billion ($101 billion), also believes people the typical working day should last 11 hours instead of eight and that the retirement age should be increased to 75.

"You should have more time for you during all of your life - not when you're 65 and retired," he told CNNMoney.

The 74-year-old billionaire first raised the idea at a conference in Paraguay during the summer when he called for "a radical overhaul" in people's working lives.
