The government’s big announcement… employees get three days off in a week!, you will be surprised to know the reason

In view of the declining population in the capital of Japan, Tokyo, the government has decided to take a big step. A four-day workweek will soon be implemented here. The initiative aims to give people an opportunity to spend more time with their families, thereby encouraging them to have more children.

Tokyo’s governor has announced that starting April 1, workers will get three days off a week. In addition, employees whose children are in primary school will be allowed to go home from work on time. “We will create a system where no one has to compromise between career and family,” the governor said. According to data from the Ministry of Health, Japan’s current birth rate is only 1.2%, while the rate should be 2.1% to keep the population stable. Experts say that if this rate does not increase, Japan may disappear from the world map in the next 120 years.

Experts believe that factors like urbanization, modernization, prevalence of late marriage, family planning and economic pressure are responsible for the decline in birth rate. The number of elderly people in Japan is increasing rapidly, due to which the burden on the economy is increasing.

Experts say that a four-day workweek can be a possible solution to this problem. This will enable people to spend more time with family and take better care of children. With this move by Japan, it is expected that it will give a boost to the birth rate and prevent the decline in the country’s population.
