Yasutoshi Nishimura, the state minister for economic revitalization who is in charge of the government s pandemic response, speaks to reporters about bureaucrats being overworked in the Cabinet Secretariat, in Tokyo s Chiyoda Ward on March 5. (Tomohiro Yamamoto)
When a woman working at a government ministry in Tokyo s Kasumigaseki district became pregnant, her obstetrician-gynecologist ordered her to cut her work hours to about 70 percent of what she was used to putting in. But I work at least 1.5 times longer than everybody else, the woman thought to herself. What would 70 percent of that translate into?
Before her pregnancy, she worked until around midnight every day. Heeding her doctor s orders, she started leaving the office by 9 or 10 p.m. She felt her life had become a lot easier until she had to be rushed to the hospital one day after going into preterm labor.
