00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:30In order to respond to the trend of worker-life balance, the Japanese government has been actively calling on companies to implement four-day working hours.
00:37However, the Japanese government has been actively calling on companies to implement four-day working hours.
00:40However, the Japanese government has been actively calling on companies to implement four-day working hours.
00:48However, the Japanese government has been actively calling on companies to implement four-day working hours.
00:55However, the Japanese government has been actively calling on companies to implement four-day working hours.
01:00The Japanese Ministry of Labor has also provided subsidies and free consulting services.
01:05At the beginning of this month, the Tokyo City Government even sent out a policy
01:09to allow civil servants to work four days a week and three days a week from April next year.
01:16However, the relevant policy stipulates that although civil servants can work three days a week,
01:21the total working time cannot be reduced.
01:23Therefore, it was originally set to work five days and eight hours a week,
01:27but it will be adjusted to work four days and ten hours a week.
01:30Tokyo City Governor Yoshihide Suga said,
01:33The Tokyo City Government hopes to implement the four-day working hours
01:37in order to assist employees in balancing their careers with their children.
01:41At the same time, it ensures that women will not be forced to give up their career
01:45because of giving birth or raising children.
01:48In short, they want to provide more flexibility to the Japanese people
01:52and reduce the difficulty of raising children
01:54to increase their desire to have children
01:57to save Japan's extremely low birth rate in recent years.
02:01However, when the Japanese TV station interviewed in the morning,
02:05they found that different groups have very different views on the four-day working hours.
02:10Among them, the upper class is welcome to this system,
02:14but the proportion of support is only 64%,
02:17and there is no one-sided support as expected.
02:21They think that the Japanese people's working hours are too long.
02:24If they can work three days a week,
02:26then the upper class will have more free time to do other things,
02:31including drinking, playing and enjoying life.
02:33This is the dream life of the working class.
02:36But on the other hand, think about it.
02:38For some bosses, this is definitely not what they think.
02:41What the bosses think is that it should be enough for employees to rest for two days.
02:45They also say that if there are so many days off,
02:47who will save and support Japan's economy?
02:51There are also some housewives who oppose this system.
02:56Why?
02:57There are housewives who describe that
02:59they have to stay at home for three days a week,
03:01which means they have to face their husbands for three days.
03:04The time for the husband has become longer,
03:06and they get annoyed when they see it.
03:08It is also easy for them to quarrel with their husbands
03:11because of some trivial matters.
03:14So they don't want to rest for three days at all.
03:16Yes, wives don't want to see their husbands every day.
03:18Yes, they would rather go out to work.
03:20But some Japanese scholars pointed out that
03:22the principle of the four-day working system is good,
03:25but it is quite difficult to implement it in Japan.
03:29In Japan, the top business school,
03:31which has been engaged in teaching and research for 20 years,
03:35analyzed that Japanese people value work highly,
03:38and even tend to regard work as part of life.
03:41Once they choose to work four days in advance and go home,
03:44they may suffer from the dissatisfaction of other colleagues.
03:47Inevitably, they will bear more social pressure,
03:51and will have to bear more work in the future.
