 In a bold move to address Japan’s deepening demographic crisis, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has introduced a four-day workweek for its employees.  This initiative is aimed at promoting work-life balance and encouraging higher birth rates, particularly as Japan faces a declining population and ageing society. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike announced the policy as part of broader reforms to support working parents and modernize employment practices in the face of long-standing gender inequality and falling fertility rates. Alongside the shorter workweek, the government has also launched a “childcare partial leave” scheme.

As Patron of the
The Poppy Factory
, The Duchess of Cornwall today attended the 92nd Field of Remembrance at
Westminster Abbey
.
The Field of Remembrance has taken place since November 1928, to commemorate those who have lost their lives in the Armed Forces.
Originally, the Poppy Factory took a group of wounded veterans, a tray of poppies and a collecting tin to the grounds of St Margaret’s Church at Westminster Abbey. Only a handful of poppies were planted around a single cross, but now tens of thousands of poppies are planted every year.
The Poppy Factory has been making poppies for The Royal British Legion and The Royal Family since 1922. Their 24 strong factory team is made up of veterans and the dependents of veterans, some of whom have worked at the factory for over 40 years making Remembrance products.
During today’s service, Her Royal Highness viewed Graves of the Unknown and toured the plots. Ex-service men and women, as well as members of the public, can plant a cross or symbol carrying a personal message in memory of those who lost their lives in the service of others
