Japan are known as one of the world’s most overworked nations. The recent death of a 31-year-old Japanese journalist has forced authorities to address large number of deaths linked to labour practices. Miwa Sado, worked as a journalist at NHK, a public broadcasting company with headquarters in Tokyo. Sado had logged 159 hours of overtime and only took two days off in the month leading up to her death from heart failure in 2013. Her death was only made public in the first week of October 2017. The announcement has sparked a national debate over Japan’s attitude to work-life balance.
