Japan is giving everyone a 10-day vacation at the end of April in honor of coronating its new emperor. Although some people are happy with the extra vacation time, 45% of respondents in a survey conducted by a Japanese newspaper felt unhappy with the extra time off. Women felt burdened with the increased household chores, hourly paid workers will forgo income for those 10 days, and investors are horrified that they won’t be able to trade in the stock market for 6 business days. The 10 day holiday is an opportunity for workers to take a break as Japan has a non-stop work culture. The Japanese government has already attempted to address the issue by putting into effect new labor laws that cap the length of the work week.
