"Premium Friday" starts amid hopes to boost spending, cut overwork

Employees of Dai-ichi Life Insurance Co. get ready to leave their office in Tokyo at 3 p.m. on Feb. 24, 2017, as a government-orchestrated campaign encouraging workers to leave the office early on the last Friday of each month kicked off the same day. The "Premium Friday" initiative is aimed at shoring up tepid consumption and winding back the traditional Japanese practice of long working hours. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
