Chinese working hours are usually quite atypical. Contrary to popular belief, China has a problem with its productivity. A report carried out by The Conference Board reveals that there is a trend that has been taking place in recent years, which is the drop in productivity.

In an official statement issued today, recently elected AFETT president, Dixie-Ann Dixon, points out that men need psycho-social support to bring about behaviour change, and that arming women is not enough to end the GBV scourge.
âWhile we need to look out for our women, we also need to pay closer attention to our young men, particularly at an early age, ensuring that they have respect for women and provide safe outlets for expressing themselves and their emotions,â Dixon observes.
