The Japanese government is trying to force workaholic’s to
take days off?
According to Business Insider, the Japanese government is “aiming
to ensure workers are getting the rest they need”. Japan is well known for
their workaholic lifestyle. Mental depression, suicide and heart attacks or
cerebral hemorrhaging are the main symptoms of overworking which caused an
estimated of 200 deaths a year. About 22 percent of Japanese workers work more
than 49 hours a week, an average of 9 days per individual to take any vacation
days in a year.
The new law will encourage parents to spend more time with
their family during special holidays or during summer months when kids have
summer break, it would give workers more flexibility to their hours. It could
also help to increase birth rates in Japan as the workaholic lifestyle is not
allowing couples to raise children.
