Watch | Japan governors become pregnant for a campaign

The video, launched on September 27, is the brainchild of the Kyushu Yamaguchi Work Life Promotion Campaign, which hopes to encourage Japan's notoriously workaholic men to adopt a more balanced life and share household chores. Japanese men were the most unhelpful in the world, a 2014 OECD survey found, doing only one hour of unpaid chores a day compared to five hours for their wives
