The UK being that high makes me feel very sorry for everyone in the countries ranked lower
Yeah, we moved from Germany to the UK a year or so ago and are about to move back pretty much specifically because of this.
Maybe it's just London, but here there is a really prevalent "hustle culture" and everyone is doing things like joining work calls during their holidays or not having a lunch break and then working 9 hours anyways.
Not to mention you get less holidays and things like being sick or maternity leave are terrible headaches in comparison.
So all in all, for us at least its been a shock! Ib would be interested to know what metrics they are using for work-life balance, because it likely doesn't match what I would choose.
