Tokyo's Governor proposes a four-day workweek to address Japan's low birth rate and labor issues.

Tokyo's Governor, Yuriko Koike, proposes a four-day workweek for government employees, aiming to boost Japan's low birth rate labeled a "quiet emergency" by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Employees will work 155 hours monthly, with options for up to three days off per week and more flexible hours for those raising young children. This initiative seeks to enhance work-life balance amid a labor shortage and a declining population.
