From what I understand Japan has some of the highest health outcomes in the world and has a very high standard of living.

I don’t think South Korea is not far behind them either.

Doesn’t Japan have a working culture that glorifies long working hours and dedication to work, leaving little to no time for socialising and relationships? or has that changed in the last few years?

I don’t know. The Japanese people I have met seem pretty well adjusted to me.

I think my info might be outdated, it seems like they’ve been working on changing it. According to Wikipedia their average annual working hours is less then us.

The thing isn’t health outcomes, it’s the significant societal and economic problems happening and on the horizon that is the worry.

I think it’s life expectancy and recovery from diseases and the prevalance of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes etc.
