    China has begun implementing an official policy for a 4.5-day work week as part of an effort to boost domestic consumption and leisure spending. As a result, South Korea is expected to benefit from it as Chinese tourists (also known as “youker”) would visit Korea all year unlike in the past when they visited on certain national holidays or long weekends.

    I'll bet their truck drivers won't benefit from a 4.5 day work week.

    As long consumers engage in activity and doesn't become couch potatos. Truckers will definitely benefit as their will be more consumer demand for goods.

    Don't remember if the program was about China, or Korea, but they were working less days so they could spend time out walking or exercising, it didn't say anything about spending more money on leisure on this particular program. They were taking advantage of the time off it looked like.

    I wander the shorten work days have kept people still above poverty. The cost of food and water I hear is expensive over there
