Japan considers compulsory paid holidays to combat overworking  ABC/AFP

Japanese commuters on the train Photo: 'Karoshi' is a Japanese term for death by overwork, a relatively common phenomenon in the industrious country.

Japan's parliament is considering enforcing five compulsory paid holidays for workers per year, in a bid to lessen the toll on mental and physical health in a country famed for overworking.

Workers typically used less than half of their leave allowance in a year, according to a survey by the labour ministry which found that in 2013 employees took only nine of their 18.5 days average entitlement.

A separate poll showed that one in every six workers took no paid holidays at all in 2013, Jiji Press said.

The government wants to boost the amount of paid leave used to 70 per cent by 2020, and plans to submit legislation mandating holidays in the current parliament session, Jiji said.

In early discussions, employer groups proposed limiting the number of compulsory paid holidays to three days, while unions called for eight.

Japan's culture of long working hours and unpaid overtime is regularly criticised as a leading cause of mental and physical illness among employees.

The term 'karoshi', which means 'death by overwork', has long been a fixture of Japanese working culture, but has seen a recent surge in the number of people dying due to stress-related problems, or suicide.

According to a poll by the Japanese unit of Washington-based travel website Expedia, workers in France enjoyed 37 paid holiday days in 2010 and used 93 per cent of them.

Spain has 32 paid holiday days and Denmark 29, with the average employee using up more than 90 per cent.

As well as the health benefits, days off encourage workers to spend money on leisure activities, thereby boosting the economy.

Japan has a relatively high 15 statutory holidays annually. In recent years there has been a move to shift the days so that they fall adjacent to the weekend, making domestic holidays more of a possibility.

Daily sweets 'linked to violence'  BBC

         

Could childhood sweet eating make you violent?

Children who eat sweets and chocolate every day are more likely to be violent as adults, according to UK researchers.

The Cardiff University study involving 17,500 people is the first into effects of childhood diet on adult violence.

It found 10-year-olds who ate sweets daily were significantly more likely to have a violence conviction by age 34.

Researchers suggested they had not learnt to delay gratification, but other experts said already "difficult" children might be given more sweets.

The researchers looked at data on around 17,500 people and found that 69% of the participants who were violent at the age of 34 had eaten sweets and chocolate nearly every day during childhood, compared to 42% who were non-violent.

Delinquents

This link between confectionery consumption and later aggression remained even after controlling for other factors such as parenting behaviour, the area where the child lived, not having educational qualifications after the age of 16 and whether they had access to a car when they were 34.

Targeting resources at improving children's diet may improve health and reduce aggression

Dr Simon Moore, Cardiff University

The researchers put forward several explanations for the link including the idea that the confectionery makes the adult addicted to certain additives and that these may contribute towards adult aggression.

The study was reported in the British Journal of Psychiatry.

Q:

What do you think of “daily sweets 'linked to violence’?”

Do you like sweeten food? Do you like chocolates? Do you like sugary beverage?

Do you think people are prone to violence because of inborn qualities or because of learned behavior?

Have you ever had a bubble tea drink?! Love it or hate it?

What do you think the food and drink sale in convenience stores?

Why sugary soda is bad for our health?
