This is basically just an overview of how many people work part-time per country. This is NOT data that compares hours worked by full time employees (edit: it says so on the top right on the chart but it’s still important to emphasize).
If all part time workers of Germany or Netherlands would quit their jobs, the number of hours worked per employee would increase drastically. All the countries with high hours on this chart are simply countries where part time jobs are rare.
If you spend that time at work, you are not working.
I’m surprised to see Japan on the lower end with its infamously toxic work culture.
Why is a meandering path the best visual for these data? Seems a lot like form over function. I can make no quick comparison between data points because sometimes left is higher, sometimes right. A simple bar graph would do a much better job of making comparisons easy.
Guess India is off the charts!!!
🤣 Spain ? Everybody’s sleeping in Catalonia from 14 to 17.
(PS: I love Spain ❤️)
I worked in Germany for 6 months and I don’t think there was a single Friday that my team worked more than a few hours and left after lunch. In my experience, Thursdays were the party nights for some reason. And my boss would often host the parties.
Germany is now far below France which is at the same level as the UK? Come on, tell me there is a new general strike coming, are all the unionists sleeping or what?
To give some comparison, albeit non-perfect, China’s average number of working hours in 2017 was 2,174 (source: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_annual_labor_hours](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_annual_labor_hours) ). I suspect it’s gone down a bit since then.
Mexico has a 6 day work week?!? Fuuuuuck that
Wow. Over a month’s difference between Germany and Mexico
I work 1920h in the Uk, 40 hours a weeks for 4& weeks a year.
