From the article:

The proposal aims to promote family growth and productivity by allowing people to bank overtime hours in exchange for time off

The administration of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol wants to allow people to work up to 69 hours a week — up from the current 52 — and bank overtime hours in exchange for time off, a plan it hopes will promote family growth alongside productivity.

The government says the plan, set to be announced next month, will provide more flexibility in the labour market. Officials say people would work less as a whole, encouraging them to have families and shore up a fertility rate that is projected to hit a global-low 0.7 in 2024.

Jfl at that wagecuck society tbh. While they are working 12 hours a day, Western countries are implementing 4 day work weeks with 32 work hours, less than half of the new South Korean proposal

Tbh no wonder South Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world. They have the largest Protestant Christian percentage in Asia , combine that capitalist Calvinist ideology with the Oriental worker ant mentality and you’ve got yourself a population that works itself quite literally to death

Every country outside the West is a shithole. Even though you get the occasional wealthy East-Asian country like Korea and Japan, they're still societies that are miserable to live in because the people have to workcel/studycel 24/7. Average Korean school kid comes home from school and studies for the rest of the night, while average school kid in the West comes home and plays fortnite with his mates for 5 hours, while still having higher material living standards. This is why you get these ethnics who constantly preach about how great their people and nations are, while living in White countries and refusing to leave them because they know deep down that only White people create societies that people actually want to live in.

You don't understand Asian culture (I'm not Asian btw) . This is fucking hell on Earth

I have an opportunity to study in Japan, so I learned a bit about their culture.
They're very traditional - respect elders and other shit, so you can't go from work before elders, and elders sit full time in office.
Also hours after 8 are getting paid more. Furtherless if you have worked more than X hours (X on usual is extra 2 hours every day + usual hours) you get way more higher salary than if you work less than that amount of time. There is a good video about this

As Confucian traditions are phased out, it is becoming apparent that in East Asian countries there is no built up pensioner care system like in the West. The elderly in Korea are becoming homeless and dying alone en masse as no one supports them. The reward for working 50-60 hours a week all your life? No one will be out there to help you

It’s really depressing if you think about it

South Korea also has the highest suicide levels among youngers cause if you don't get to uni, then your life is over ;(

You also probably have seen anime cosplays, coloured hair and etc on Asians. In Japan (can't talk about SK, but I think it's pretty similar) you can do ONLY if you are a student (in jni) . You can't do this while studying in school or after graduating from uni. Their whole life and personality is working.

work hours is cope for birth rate
look at some european countries, they provide shit ton of benefits and leave for kids but still low af birth rate
the only reason birth rates are lowering is because if increase in women education and rights

even if there was 3 day work weeks still they wont have kids

Factor in commute and travel it could be 12 hours.

I’m personally not well versed at all on anime (only have seen 2 in my life), but I have a long time friend who has seen hundreds and he told me that he is seeing an obvious pattern in most animes.

According to him, most of anime is centered around the romanticization of puberty (through high school environment usually) as Japanese society’s work culture is so toxic, they can only look back into their child days for a momentary mental quit from their current situation. He thinks anime is ultimately an escape mechanism which is also often mixec with missed teen love

Thoughts on his take?

I personally haven't watched a lot of anime, however I have read a lot of manga (anime comics). According to my calculations around 70K chapters of different manga/manhua/manhwa (manhwa, if I remember correctly is Korean, manhua is Chinese, manga Japanese).
I'm really happy that I stopped reading manga, cause that was a fucking addiction, like watching porn o playing games. I spent all my time reading manga. At school and lessons- read manga. At home - read manga. I was reading manga for 8+ hours a day.... :feelsohgod::feelsohgod::feelsohgod:
You probably read one chapter in 1-3 minutes, so I spend on reading manga from 1166 HOURS to 3500 hours:lasereyes::feelsmega:. I'm really very disappointed about how I spend half a year of my life on reading manga. :incel:
This addiction is very common among manga and anime fans. Honestly, there is no difference in plot between manga, manhwa and manhua, all the differences in drawing. Why? Because of that thing that your friends said - manga and anime are a mechanism to escape reality also it's probably a propaganda.
In ALMOST ALL manga/manhua/manhwa/anime character is OP, he is better than average, he gets all achievements and success easily. The funniest thing that I saw in 99.99% manga (not overshoot number) is that character at start is always below average, he's like the worst fighter in the world and etc (however it's pretty popular plot that in childhood he was the best and than became the worst and now he's abused by his parents, maybe that's story correlates with most of Asians) and then something happend with him and he gets a super power or talent or system (like you have to do simply tasks, for example take shit that system gives to you , and after that you'll be rewarded by some rare top-tier armor/skill and etc). System is a way to get goods easily, so no wonder why it's very popular genre.
Also there are popular genres like second life, reincarnation in another world. And in all that manga, main character is incel (ugly, fat, no friends) , than he reincarnates in another world and become Gigachad with harem. I think the reason why this plot is so popular doesn't need any explanation .
In reincarnation, he goes in past, correct mistakes, becomes rich, and slay all pussies, cause he knows the future. Same as reincarnation.
So in conclusion, manga is a great way to escape reality, cause in manga characters is popular with girls, gets all success easy and he still correlates with you and you feel empathy to him because he started from the bottom, where are you now, so manga creates a hope that one day you"ll become successful or you'll reincarnate live second life way better if you work hard in this life.
