996" work culture - working 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., six days a week--- Have any East Asian countries successfully fixed their overwork culture? It doesn't even increase productivity but lowers it. Humans can't be that productive for that long. I think it's not only too culturally ingrained, but even they have to have women working to keep up with costs. You would have to get the bulk of women out of the workforce at once otherwise the wages won't change enough for one person to support a household. you would also have to have women married to not have to support themselves. I don't think women should be banned from working, especially older women with kids out of the house. But it definitely has had a negative impact on society, and children, them being in the workplace.
