Japan: Can anything be done to stop population decline? in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] 13 points 3 years ago

I’m also in Tokyo and happy to say that I’ve seen the culture of overtime work changing even over the last 5 years. Young people don’t want to do it. Companies that don’t allow it are more loved by the people https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-12/itochu-overtime-ban-offers-solutions-for-japan-birthrate-decline

And there’s also the rise of remote/hybrid/flex work that many people don’t want to go back from

Japan is changing and I’m very optimistic about its future!

    • More than 1,600 Australians pushed into homelessness each month as housing crisis deepens, report finds in c/australia@aussie.zone

    It’s a fucking travesty that Australia can’t do public housing like Singapore’s HDB/CPF, how can people be expected to do anything when their basic needs are not being met 😭 like a roof over your head, what?
