Japan is too low on the list, it should be up next to Korea as they pretty much have the same work ethic of not leaving the office before the boss.
- icebraining 8y agoIsn't it common for older Japanese to keep working? Maybe they do fewer hours, skewing the metrics?
- kijin 8y agoKoreans are fairly outspoken about their own problems. They make a big fuss about having to work long hours and not being paid enough for it. A new law just came into effect that makes it illegal to employ someone for more than 52 hours per week (with various exceptions), so there's been even more fuss about it lately. In Japan, the first rule of overtime is that you don't talk about overtime. Especially not to a researcher from an international organization who might badmouth your country.
