Japan's idea of a work/life balance
In the western world we are all complaining about talent shortages, and are already starting to plan to recruit the younger Z generations. But in Japan the government are taking their future shrinking workforce to a new level!!
They are trying to convince women that the work/life balance actually involves having more children AND staying at work!! They have already failed in many attempts to get women to work in the first place, and combined with declining birth numbers and more people retiring this has contributed to a forecasted shortfall of 20million+ workers in future years. So now they have moved on to try and convince women to have more children and either go to work or stay at work! Baby bonuses will be next, or commission schemes based on the number of babies you have! And what happens if they don't play ball with the government? Let's not go there.........
