I don’t get why “LGBTQ+ Inclusivity” factor is part of this index, since this group is only small part of whole society.
Don’t think that Bulgaria and Serbia can surpass Austria or Czechia.
No way is Austria that low.
Serbia is a joke!
Wtf is this list? I live in Vienna and can assure you the average working week is more than 26.9 hours…
Lithuania did not even… well…
Normally I would agree not seeing Switzerland in the top 20 for work life balance sounds fair. Looking at the metrics used though I‘m scratching my head how a lot of these countries rank higher.
Wouldn’t expect Italy* to be that low.
I call bullshit on this one. They confused work / life balance with quality of life.
As the metric, parental leave for Romania is 2 years paid 75% of your income. We got bad hospitals maybe, but work/life balance is great here.
Very very subjective
Spain!🤣 Must be a joke.
LoL poor and also shit work life balance? Nice
Lazy ass germans
Countries in Green outsource their work to countries in red to have better work/life balance.
This is all shit. Ain’t no way that Romania is 55 but Bulgaria is 62! Romania is the only post-Soviet country to get out of the union and not become a dump on the Balkans
Edit: Also, Ireland and Italy are 55 and 56? lol??? I’ve got friends in Ireland and they are living the life, meanwhile we’re slaving away with our 60 hour work weeks in Bulgaria
If Switzerland was in this list…
Why is Austria and Ireland rated so bad?
I have worked in the UK, Belgium and Germany (similar profession). No way is this list even close to being correct. Belgium was the best one for me followed by Germany and then the UK.
>The European Life-Work Balance Index assesses focuses on the countries situated in Europe, ranking the quality of life-work balance across each nation. The index considers a variety of vital factors including:
Healthcare
Minimum wage
Maternity leave
Statutory annual leave
Sick pay
Overall happiness levels
Average working hours
LGBTQ+ inclusivity
One of these clearly does not belong in a serious index about work-life balance.
WTF why has no Portuguese jumped in here to say that their life is so shit that this scale cannot possibly measure how bad it is for them despite not really knowing how it is for everyone else?
