Oil-poor Asian countries push 4-day weeks and car pooling

Asian countries with limited oil reserves are implementing measures such as 4-day workweeks and carpooling to reduce oil consumption amidst concerns over supply disruptions from the Middle East, aiming to mitigate the economic impact of potential shortages. This move indicates a proactive approach to managing oil dependency and its associated economic risks. The initiative may lead to reduced oil demand and potentially stabilize prices in the region.
