    One of the items will also include the abolishment of the so-called “blanket wage system,” where an employer preemptively includes extra work hours in the annual salary so that any actual overtime hours are not counted toward monthly salaries. The system is supposed to be used for positions whose working hours are flexible and hard to pin down, but it has often been abused by companies to force overtime without paying.

    Seems like South Korea has some bad laws in that respect, but they are working on fixing it.

      Oh, this is actually a really good step. My guess as to the biggest reason their population is dropping so quickly is that they are all worked half to death.
