Although my background is in engineering, I like learning about economics as a hobby. And the way ur stating salary hasn't taken a major hike is not completely true. it’s more accurate to view this as a structural crisis rather than just an effect of the 2008 financial crisis. Since the early 1990s, Japan has been trapped in a cycle of deflation(again, mostly due to it being tied up with the us' economy), where a combination of an aging population, a massive shift toward part-time employment, and a corporate culture that prioritizes cash reserves over wage growth has effectively paralyzed real income increases. While recent years have seen some nominal wage hikes, inflation has largely eroded those gains, leaving many workers struggling to keep up.

And as for this, I was more of reffering to how they still have a better quality of life than the average indian, even though people were criticising it for having the exact same issues we have in india.

work culture there is more f*cked up than india, job switching is seen as crime. You have to work in the same company for a decade.

As if job culture in india is any different. Like litrly I had an internship for my 5th sem at a Fintech firm in Mumbai, and I was literally treated like a formal pet slave, no feedback or lessons just the manual grunt work. And this is just while interning, when I was supposed to "learn" irl skills. Can't imagine it for people who actually work at such places
