No its not a typo. A ring of 1300 international companies have gathered together to try and come up with solutions to the global crunch, skyrocketing overtime claims and the alarmingly low birthrate in Japan.Japans birthrate is 1.34, according to the Ministry of Health, which is way below their ideal rate of 2.0. The birthrate has been so low for so long in fact that the average age in Japan is the ripe old age of 65!
High demands on the Japanese market has meant that the average business day spans up to 12 hrs so going home 'early' for them, is around 5.30pm. Earlier closing times mean more (or at least SOME) time with families or more time to make them in this case. Companies have already praised the scheme as it has resulted in happier employees which will hopefully mean they um..........er...........are 'happier' at home too.
