Panel starts discussions on telework guidelines

October 3, 2017

TOKYO- A Japanese labor ministry study group on Tuesday held its first meeting to set guidelines to make it easier to telework, or work outside their regular workplaces, and have side jobs and second jobs.

The group of experts will present measures to increase flexible work style options that will enable people to work while taking care of their children or elderly family members. It will also study how to deal with long working hours related to such work styles. Jiji Press
