The digital revolution and new technology provide so much flexibility at work that you often find people who never disconnect. In order to find out which countries have the best work-life balance, the OECD produces the Better Life Index, which puts Denmark at the head of the 20 countries in the study, with Spain in second place.
The OECD estimates that, on average, 13% of workers in the countries in the study work more than 50 hours a week. However, in Denmark, which tops the ranking, this figure is 2% thanks to the country's family-friendly policies. Spain is in second place, with its workers dedicating 16.1 hours to personal care and leisure (the OECD average is 15 hours). In fact, European countries dominate the Top 10 of this ranking, ahead of countries, such as the United States, Mexico, Japan and South Korea.
