OVERWORKED CITIES
OUR LIVES
AT WORK
The quality of work–life balance can depend on location. The
2021 Work-Life Balance Index, from cloud-based software company
Kisi, shows Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok are the top three
cities with the most overworked populations in the world, while
Helsinki, Oslo and Zurich have the best work–life balance.
The index compares data on work intensity, institutional
support, legislation and liveability. According to the index,
“overworked populations” refers to full-time employees who
work more than 48 hours in each working week, above the
International Labour Organization’s recommendation of a
40-hour working week.
