Colombia ranks first among the countries with the worst work and personal balance
Latin America tops the list of countries with the worst work-life balance for its citizens. Colombians work up to 50 hours or more without the emotional conditions to do so. The OECD pointed to Mexico and Turkey as the second and third places on the list.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) ensures that in Colombia, Mexico and Turkey there is no balance between work and personal. In other words, people spend less time on their mental health and leisure, because they are busy with long working hours.
"Evidence suggests that long working hours can affect personal health, jeopardize safety and increase stress"
The United States and the United Kingdom are ranked 11th and 12th among the nations with the worst life rates for workers. The OECD studies the relationship between working and living properly, showing a fairly general level of dissatisfaction.
Of course, European nations have improved the living conditions of their populations. The Netherlands tops the list for the best work-personal balance, while Italy, Denmark and Spain obtained important positions in this study.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) invites governments with the worst positions to take labor measures that benefit the emotional balance of their workers.
