Japan's 'Quiet Quitting': Workplace Shift or Decline?

In Japan, many young workers are choosing to "quiet quit", meaning they only do what their job requires and leave on time.

This is different from the US meaning, where the term originated.

They want more time for themselves and less focus on work.

This contrasts with older generations who often worked long hours.

A recent study shows nearly half of Japanese workers are quiet quitting, as they question the benefits of the old system.

Experts are divided on the impact: some see it as positive, leading to better balance, while others worry about changes to Japan's historical work ethic.
