働き方改革
Work style reform
Japan now is pushing a reform of working style. To promote work life balance, increase productivity. Cut long hours. Better benefits for part-time workers. Remote work. Diversity, et cetera.
Top 3 points are:
- If you work more than 8 hours per day, Labour Act. 36 needs to be in place
- Give people the annual paid holidays (besides bank holidays)
- Equal work, equal pay
Let’s hope a future where we don’t use this word 過労死 anymore.
