This is true. My sister lives in Japan and says that it's a well known problem there.
Employers demand 6-day work weeks, and the 6th day is volunteer (they don't pay you) because the population is so high and everybody needs a job. Since most people are willing to work that extra day, people who "complain" or don't agree to those conditions don't get jobs.
It isn't about "kids these days". This issue speaks more towards basic life conditions, if you ask me. There's a reason why we have work norms here.
