“Work Like a Horse”: Japan PM’s Diktat | Firstpost Spotlight | N18G
Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has sparked nationwide debate after holding a 3 a.m. meeting with aides, now dubbed the “3 A.M. Study Session.” The late-night gathering, reportedly triggered by a jammed fax machine, drew criticism for promoting Japan’s toxic work culture amid ongoing concerns over karoshi—death from overwork. Takaichi, Japan’s first female leader, has long rejected the idea of work-life balance, famously declaring she would “work like a horse.” Her stance comes as Japan considers relaxing overtime limits, even as one in ten employees exceed 80 overtime hours monthly. With falling birth rates and growing burnout, critics say Japan’s glorification of exhaustion is unsustainable, especially compared to nations embracing shorter workweeks and stronger employee rights.
