Japan’s Overtime U-turn | The Palki Sharma Show | IGR | India Global Review

Japan once became famous for a word no country wants to be known for — karoshi, or death from overwork. After years of trying to curb its punishing work culture, Japan is now easing the enforcement of overtime restrictions.
The reason? A shrinking workforce, an ageing population and businesses desperate for more workers. But critics are asking an uncomfortable question: in a country where staying late has long been seen as a sign of loyalty, can working more ever really be a choice?
Is Japan finding a solution to its labour shortage or risking a return to the work culture it spent years trying to escape?
Palki Sharma tells you.
