We are writing this post on Sunday which is considered as the week-off in Whole World. People don't like to work on Sunday and why should they work: Its a Week off and we should enjoy this with our family.
But there are several countries available in this strange world where people work more than the specified working hours in a Day or in a week. Lets gain some knowledge about those countries one by one:
1. China - China is the country where almost every person or employee works more than the prescribed working hours in a day. As in India, the normal working hours are 8-9 hours and we Indians feels so tired after working 3-4 hours but in china people works 12-13 hours on a daily basis. They work 6 days in a week and hardly take leaves on Sundays.
Maybe from this we can get the idea why they are more successful than the other countries in the world. But one thing here to be notice that "more working hours does not guarantee more productivity" but sometimes we thought maybe this quote is not applicable in the case of China because this country produce most of the products and export in other countries as well. So, Yes: Their extra working hours are paying off with more Productivity.
The Chinese youth are doing protests to reduce the working hours from 12 to lower hours so that the quality of the products can increase instead of the quantity only.
2. Costa Rica: Costa Rica is one of the central country of America. On an average, people of costa Rica works more than 2060 Hours in a year. if you remove the Sundays & Saturdays and other 30-40 days leaves from days of 365, you will find that 2060 hours in a year are lot.
3. South Korea: the average person works more than 52 hours in South Korea. Earlier the working hours has been reduced to lower numbers but now its approx. 52 hours in a week. If you convert it in days (after removing Saturdays & Sundays) you will find that these hours are 10-11 hours a week.
4. India: This is the same case of India. An average Indian works 53-54 hours in a week. It means 9-10 hours a week. Many Times, they also need to work on Sundays.
5. Russia: Although Russian government has fixed the working hours which is 40 Hours a week but people work more than that in Russia just to earn more Income. So because of this the total hours reach the level of 50-55 hours in a week.
6. Japan: Japan is the most vulnerable country where people works more than 16 Hours a Day. The people are addicted to work a lot - beyond the specified limits. One of the reason behind is to earn more Income. Japanese Companies provides paid leaves to it's employees but even after this they do over times and works a lot. To came out of this situation, Japanese government has started giving leaves to the employees forcefully so that they can get rest and the productivity of the company increase.
Reason of More working hours: If you can see that these all countries are Asian countries where people works more hours in a week as compares to other continents. One of the biggest reason behind that: we are lot in numbers of population. Almost half of the Population of earth filled in Asian Countries. Huge population generates competition and because of the more competition, people not able to find the desired jobs at good pay scale and at good working timings. Then people works on lower wages with more hours to save their jobs so that they can earn their livelihood.
