Spain’s got 15% of the population spending full time on the “life” part of the “work-life balance” which drags them up the table.
Ok i’ve lived in NL. Can someone tell me why it’s so high on the list ? because I don’t know.
Everytime statistics like that pop up, I know they’re biased towards Scandinavian country because there people don’t speak freely about the bad shit, and they only shows the good
Eh, we aren’t there?
Edit: I am getting downvoted, but according to OECD, we are literally #2 and in front of everyone listed here..
Metrics used in the study are avg number of hours dedicated to leisure and personal care (sleeping, hobbies, eating, socializing, etc) and percentage of people who work more than 50h a week in paid work.
I’m guessing Spain can be explained by having relatively good public transport to shorten commute times, grandparents participating in childcare activities and possibly something about the mix of economic activities. AFAIK, its legislation in this area is good but not brilliant.
Without any link this statement is useless.
Tbh I didn’t expect to see Germany and Estonia here.
Some weeks back a map on here said Italy was the best country for work life balance.
I guess this shows how good reddit stats are.
As a Swede who works 250 hours a month i disagree with my countries place on this list.

Any thoughts?
No surprise
Spain is high because of the siesta.

TLDR, they used
