Tokyo Introduces 4-Day Work Week To Tackle Japan’s ‘Quiet Emergency’ | Here’s What It Is…

[@NithinMSV]

Mr. Narayana Murthy crying in the corner 🤣. And also Modi ji and Nirmala angry after hearing Japan pays lumpsum money to each child gets birth. Meanwhile in India, CM demands 16 child per head with no money support. 🤣India demands so poorly.

[@infinitebeing1119]

Government of India should introduce 6 hours work time with 2 shifts so unemployed can get job.

[@backpropagation8365]

Japan is a developed nation facing declining population. Is India in the same state of development?

[@ajeetalbert91]

Japan has more money to support it's less number of citizens. And Japan wants more population. India has less money to support extremely high population. And India wants to depopulate. Basic idea is supplys demand. In India, considering unemployment and inflation, our people will stand in line even if a company says to work for all 7 days without any leave. Still a guy who is ready to work for 10 hours a day will get the job and a guy who can work only for 8 hours will be rejected. Nobody can be blamed.

[@NithinMSV]

@@ajeetalbert91 India GDP has increased exponentially. Putting billions of dollars in millionaire pockets. But still wages are decreasing. When you say "India has less money to support high population". It is very baseless statement being an Indian can give. Rich are getting rich exponentially. Poor are getting poor exponentially. This is India. If India cannot fix a 10yrs old pothole. It is funny "India is a developing nation". When it cannot satisfy its citizen basic amenities.

[@backpropagation8365]

@@NithinMSV lol…india’s GDP is only $4 trillion for a population of 1.4 billion which is just $2500 per capita, making it one of the poorest countries on the planet. Even war torn countries in eastern Europe have per capita income 3 times of India’s.

This needs to be for all employees not just government officials.

Nah this is basically getting a raise for government officials in different form.

[@llawliet365]

Well Japan has a culture where people feel bad when taking a holiday. Many work even on holiday. People will likely still work like usual. I won't be surprised if this 4 day work week don't really have any impact.

[@bletwort2920]

It's all about money at the end of the day. In rural areas couples have more kids because it's free labour. But in cities every child is a burden on their parents.

That happens when there are too many people all fighting for the scraps. You end up being exploited by employers as you are all super replaceable due to excessive breeding. Life is super cheap in India

[@sanketvaria9734]

just stop marrying and having kids guys. India will follow too. Plus there are multiple advantages of not marrying. you are safe from Atul like situation.

You do not need more people in India! There are 20 million street kids who will grow into adults with no hope and nothing to do. You still defecate in the streets. Please, to help you all, stop mindlessly breeding and maybe the country will be able to get ahead.

[@abhisheksainani]

Finally the right step taken by someone.

[@IKSHITCHATRA]

Population won't increase just by giving a four day week , people don't want to have kids as raising them is a very stressful thing , most of the income is spent on kids having kids is hectic . Still population won't increase much even after this strategy.

[@fastforward9066]

India should decrease their population.

[@t.o.m_baker6359]

It’s not the solution but a 4 day work week is the best step in the right direction for increasing the population. Raising kids would be a lot less hectic if people are not stressed from their work. Now they just need to fix their cost of living.

[@adityamehta2819]

If you increase the wages and all other things you said, please will want to work less, not more.

[@sunilkumarcheruvu]

How? are we going to increase wages and yet bring down prices and revenues?? You cant create money from the air. if you reduce prices the revenues go down and subsequently the salaries have to go down. If this happens people who invested in the country takes out the money and the economy falls down further. 1 country alone cant chill out while rest of the world slogs. They will eventually have to pay bcoz prices will rise in their market. This is how economics works.

[@mayankkumar5896]

@@sunilkumarcheruvu I am not saying print more money, I was saying IT companies got skyrocketing profit, but salary remains same when adjusted to inflation. Companies got 25x profit because their employees worked with with overtime, but they didn't get fair share from it. It it not about printing money, It is just giving employee fair share for his hardwork, so tha we can increase private consumption.

Won't work. The problem of declining birth rate is cultural and not economical. Women nowadays see babies as burden, something that limits their ability to "explore" and keep them bounded to one thing. If you give them more time and money to compensate for it, they will just use it for holidays and shopping.
