Ranking of Work-Life Balance in Developed Countries in 2025

https://upperclasscareer.com/ranking-of-work-life-balance-in-developed-countries-in-2025/

tldr: America sucks

Australia 8th:

  1. Australia — 72.10

Australia’s relatively short average workweek, combined with one of the highest minimum wages in the developed world, contributes to its high ranking. Access to healthcare, strong worker protections, and a generally safe environment further support the score. Nonetheless, the cost of living in major cities remains a challenge, and some industries still require extended working hours, limiting the full reach of work-life policies.

The US being that much lower than SK / Japan / Singapore (in the rating, if not the rank) is so depressing lol.
