I wouldn't bet on that.

#14I found it interesting how Expedia is behind this study. I can see how this would help their bottom line.
For those interested, source data for the study.

A genuine question: is making assumptions based on perceived cultural influence incorrect?
I mean, I know asian work cultures are "harder" than my european one, but is it incorrect to spell that in a public/social context?

Me neather, short term. But in the long run Capitalism will not want humans, we're too expensive.
It also really makes no sense to work, I think this will become increasingly more evident.
Note: Marx wouldn't agree with me. He would say that the rich will still have the means of production (automation), so the poor will still do stupid jobs to get paid that little to afford the products made by automation. It's basically like it now, but I hope this will change.
There is no startup that can fix this. We need to collectively own the automation to not work.

The study is geographic, and about work culture not race.
To your point, a better title might refer to "Asian Countries" and "European Countries" instead of individuals. Europeans living in Japanese companies work similar days/hours as their coworkers, of course.
