South Korea has limited a working week to 52 hours, in order to stop overwork
Unless they have also come up with a solid definition of "work", this will be meaningless.  Does it include work done from home?  Work done on your own time?  Will it allow us to turn off the cellphone all weekend?I say this as a government worker spending his Saturday night doing an online course I need to complete before a training day on Tuesday.  I'm on salary and so do not get overtime.  But to compete I have to pull the rabbit from the hat and somehow get everything done.  That means doing work-related tasks in my own time.  (This is a busy month.  Things will get easier later in the year and everyone knows it.  Nobody is complaining.)
