Tokyo CNN —The Japanese capital is set to introduce a four-day workweek for government employees, in its latest push to help working mothers and boost record-low fertility rates. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government says the new arrangement, which begins in April, could give employees three days off every week. Japan’s fertility rate, which has seen a precipitous fall for many years, reached another record low in June, even as the government ramped up efforts to encourage young people to get married and start families. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike speaks to the media after winning the Tokyo gubernatorial election in Tokyo, Japan, on July 07, 2024. For a population to remain stable, it needs a fertility rate of 2.1.

The bear wandered into the store in Akita City on Saturday and attacked a 47-year-old employee, who sustained a minor head injury, police said. Bear attacks are becoming a growing headache for the country, especially in northern Japan, where mountain ranges and lush bush provide an ideal habitat. The bear was later found in the storage area, so workers set up a box trap, with honey and apples to attract the interloper. The number of bear attacks in the prefecture was higher than usual this year after hitting a record last year, the spokesperson said. Japan also recorded the highest number of injuries or property damage as a result of bear attacks in the fiscal year that ended in March, according to NHK.
