实行八小时工作制度最早的国家（八小时工作制度最早在哪个国家出现）

1、八小时工作制度虽然最早由英国空想社会主义者罗伯特·欧文于1817年8月提出，但真正获得实施，最早是在新西兰和澳大利亚，在19世纪的40和和50年代。

2、维基百科：Although there were initial successes in achieving an eight-hour day in New Zealand and by the Australian labour movement for skilled workers in the 1840s and 1850s, most employed people had to wait to the early and mid twentieth century for the condition to be widely achieved through the industrialized world through legislative action.
