4-day workweek in Tokyo from next year: Is population decline reshaping Japan’s workforce?

Governor Koike hopes this initiative, along with flexible work hours for parents, will encourage more families. Japan's birth rate hit a record low of 1.2 children per woman last year, far below the 2.1 needed for population stability.
