In the week or in a week

I don't understand why the expressions "in the week" and "in the day" are used in the text quoted below. In my humble opinion as a non-native speaker of English, they should be "in a week" and "in a day" instead. Of course I could be wrong. I hope someone helps me.

It will become increasingly important to build a career you can enjoy later in life. If you’re healthy, you can travel, spend time with your grandchildren and contribute to society and the economy even after you retire. Working carriers will be spread out so that people will work more years, but with fewer workdays in the week and fewer hours in the day.
