An article with the same themes for those who prefer to read: https://www.whatsonweibo.com/the-concept-of-involution-neijuan-on-chinese-social-media/
The video talks about the nature of competition at schools and workplaces, 996 working hours, the phenomenon of involution, and the extremes they have reached.
The almost endless pool of workers is what drives 996. If one doesn’t want to work, there is always someone else to replace him/her. Remove that from the equation and 996 will be no more.
How do you remove that? That being an almost endless pool of workers.
(Not antagonizing: just curious)
Unless you divide China in 40, 50 states, you can’t. There’s just too many of them. Plus they used to have a 10 kids per family tradition, so… that’s how you get to a few billion people and an endelss supply of workers.
It also the culture of the work. The society pushes this wheel along. Change that, change the path.
Society changes very qiuckly when faced with scarsity of any kind.
For sure.
