It may not be a complete solution, but if they enforce remote work in both the public and private sectors and switch to a four-day workweek, the situation will be better a lot. Research shows that even doing that won't decrease productivity; in fact, it might even increase it, so there's no sacrifice involved. What do you think?

In America a lot of people meet their spouse at work, and I’m guessing remote work doesn’t work the same way. Not sure if the same applies in SK tho.
Only ~10% of American heterosexual couples meet as coworkers. This data is from 2021, so it’s probably lower now.

Times a changing I guess! I swear I remember it being around 30% which doesn’t show on your chart but that doesn’t change the narrative. Online dominating.
