  10. Why and where are weekly working hours dropping in Europe?

    The amount of time spent at work across Europe is declining.

    According to Eurostat, in 2024, the actual weekly working hours for workers aged 20 to 64 in their main job ranged from 32.1 hours in the Netherlands to 39.8 hours in Greece.

    When including non-EU countries the highest figure was recorded in Turkey, where average weekly working time exceeded 43 hours.

  11. @europesays this should also be set in the context of legal #workinghours. #Luxembourg has a longer working week than #France.

  12. 6 Day week
    #lowwages, limited career opportunities, ever-longer #workinghours without decent compensation; so many seek work abroad. a rising number are refusing to work in #tourism because many see the working conditions in the sector as akin to #wageslavery.

    7 day week
    Seasonal workers on popular holiday islands #Mykonos and #Santorini work seven days a week; live in overcrowded accommodation eg. ten people to share a single living and sleeping space.

  13. #Europe #USA #Work #WorkingHours #QualityOfLife: "In short, most Americans would probably prefer European working hours. It is just that their employers, and the cost of health insurance, get in the way. The US offers big prizes for finishing top, and big punishments for finishing bottom. That is partly why Europe exports its most ambitious strivers there.

    But few Americans win the big prizes. Many others end up overworked and unhappy, albeit in big houses and cars. In the latest World Happiness Report — a partnership between Gallup, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre and the UN — the US finished 23rd for self-reported happiness. Nordic countries took the top spots. As the Swedish political scientist Bo Rothstein observed: “It is now clear that, from the many societal models that have been tried since the breakthrough of industrialism, social research can point to a winner in terms of human wellbeing and this is the Nordic model.”

    Even Tangen seems to like it. He has taken enough leisure time to build up the world’s largest collection of Nordic modernist art (the sort of activity the typical New York hedge-funder would not do alone), and enjoys holidays in his summerhouse."

  14. The average hours worked per week in Europe vary widely. Countries with higher part-time workers, in particular, reported shorter average workweeks.

  15. 📊 Law of marginal returns - Once you cross a certain threshold of hours worked, you'll never get as much done in the next hour as you did the hour before that, and your returns begin diminishing.

  16. Is 40 hours a week too much? Here’s what #history and #science say | #Okta Australia

    "How many #WorkingHours a week is too much? Unfortunately, it’s not a question that #research has answered. We know the effects of working 50 hours a week are negative; anything over 40 makes people less productive overall. But is 40 the magic number, or is it outdated—a contributing factor to low national engagement and #productivity levels?"

  17. At the #DutchDemographyDay day, Lonneke van den Berg uses #Dutch #RegisterData to study whether living close to #grandparents buffers the drop in #WorkingHours for #mothers. Hard to read picture but interestingly living close to one's parents was associated with higher drop in #WorkingHours post #ChildBirth.
