Top 10 countries that strike the best work/life balance – see where yours ranks

Chloe Johnson Published July 22, 2025 1:59pm Updated July 22, 2025 2:14pm Link is copied Comments In 2025, many of us are trying to achieve a better work/life balance - whether by slashing that morning work commute in half or by adding in more self-care to that never-ending to-do list. But our work/life balance is often influenced highly by where we live. So if you're considering an international move, maybe check if your designated country prioritises work-life balance. To figure out which countries have the best work-life culture, we looked at the latest research from Remote, a global HR platform, who have compared the working culture of the 60 highest GDP nations around the globe (Picture: Getty) The study analyses the countries by the following factors: statutory annual leave, minimum statutory sick pay percentage, paid maternity leave and payment rate, minimum wage, healthcare system, happiness index, average hours worked per week, and LGBTQIA+ inclusivity. We've looked at the top 10 countries that are getting the balance right below…yes, we're looking at flights, too! (Picture: Getty) You might have expected Finland on this list - after all, it's one of the happiest countries in the world! But it's actually not the highest on our list, coming in only at number ten. Finland is known for being progressive all around, and in the workplace this translates to being flexible and allowing employees to choose a schedule that fits their lifestyle. Annual leave is recorded as 36 days per year, and it ranks as 70.86 out of 100 on our list due to legislation like the Working Hours Act, which allows for flexible work schedules, with strong labour unions contributing to a healthy work environment (Picture: Getty) While Spain is known for having a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere in their free time, they know how to get work done, too. There is a lack of formality in Spain and a protection of free time that allows Spanish workers to enjoy their leisure time and work smarter during their time in the office. Tied with Finland for vacation days, annual leave is recorded as 36 days per year - and is ranked as 71.94 out of 100 on our scale (Picture: Getty Images) Canberra can be a great city to get a good work/life balance as the city is fairly small compared to other Australian cities, which can make the commute easier to cope with. Canberra has less annual leave days on average than Helsinki or Madrid at 30, but scores higher on the overall scale with 72.10 out of 100, so there must be some great working environments here. We suppose having year-round sunshine and amazing beaches helps!(Picture: Getty) Ottowa in Canada not only has a romantic, snowy landscape in the winter that can make everything feel more cosy and inviting, it's also known as being a high ranker for LGBTQIA+ friendliness, with inclusivity a major reason why it has such a great work/life balance, and a reason why you want might to relocate and set up a new life in Canada - or one to stay if you're already there! (Picture: Getty) Sneaking in by a hair is Copenhagen in Denmark. The Danes are known for being proud about their work - but not needing to demonstrate that pride by working long hours. This means in late July, you might find a Danish office completely empty, as the Danish summer is often very short, and Danish employees have a whole 5 weeks paid vacation per year that they intend to take. It's not common to find Danish employees stopping work at 4pm to pick up children, and this comes across in our list with an overall happiness rating of 7.5 - just behind Finland! (Picture:Getty) We're seeing a lot of the Nordic countries in this list and Denmark's northerly neighbour, Norway, is next on our list. Norway works on average 32.60 hours a week and they have a pretty decent annual leave of 35 days a year -- one of our top contenders in this category. You won't find yourself working long hours every week here, then, and with beautiful fjords to explore in your downtime, why would you? (Picture: Getty) Germany is known for being efficient, so it's no surprise that this continues through to their work/life balance. Hard work is valued in the city of Berlin, but so is the ability to kick back and relax. Due to Germany's Ladenschlussgesetz law, supermarkets close no later than 10pm and pretty much everything else is shut on Sundays, to ensure workers are getting their proper time off. You'll also find that employers are not allowed to contact you during your time off, either, which will be up to 30 days per year. Tschüssi! (Picture: Getty) Well, we're in our top three now and Brussels benefits from Belgian law limiting working hours - you can't exceed more than 34.1 hours per week! Not only this, but companies offer a lot of flexible working options like remote work and flexible hours, so you can fit work in around your life - not work to live (Picture: Getty) Dublin is not only a great tourist destination, it can be an amazing place to work, too. The city scores highly on culture and happiness and has benefits such as 26 weeks of fully-paid maternity leave which mean that people feel satisfied overall with the way their work/life balance shakes out (Picture: Getty) Finally, at number one on our list, we have Wellington in New Zealand. Remote's ranking of the best countries in the world for a life-work balance sees New Zealand workers enjoy a generous annual leave allowance (32 days per year) and a high minimum wage ($16.42 per hour), which adds up to a lot of satisfaction - and we suppose the stunning backdrop wouldn't hurt!

The exact number of daily steps to slash your risk of dying young by almost 50% – and it's loads less than you think

Find out what happened to Sun Health's Alice Fuller when she challenged herself to walk 10,000 each day for an entire year STEP UP The exact number of daily steps to slash your risk of dying young by almost 50% – and it's loads less than you think Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOR decades, 10,000 steps a day has been drilled into us as the ultimate daily goal to keep fit and healthy. But new research shows you could move far less and still boost your health, slash the risk of disease, and even live longer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A brisk daily walk of 7,000 steps may protect your brain and heart Credit: Getty A study led by scientists from the University of Sydney in Australia found that walking just 7,000 steps each day can reduce your risk of dementia, heart disease and dying early. Even modest step counts of 4,000 steps a day can reap benefits over very low levels of activity, experts found. But they added that "10,000 steps per day will still be better than 7,000 steps" - with the higher step count leading to more health benefits. This isn't the first study to suggest you don't need to hit 10,000 steps a day to claim the rewards. Read more on living longer LIVE LONG & PROSPER Nine daily tasks to help you live longer & they take a few minutes Separate research, published by London scientists last year, found that walking just 5,000 steps three days a week can increase life expectancy by three years. Meanwhile, a Polish study from 2023 found getting your step count up to 2,337 each day was enough to slash your risk of heart disease. The new study, published in The Lancet Public Health, saw researchers examine data from dozens of studies from around the world, including in the UK, on tens of thousands of adults. They found that walking just 7,000 steps a day was linked to a 25 per cent lower risk of heart disease. It was also associated with a 14 per cent reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, a 38 per cent lower risk of dementia, and a 22 per cent reduced risk of depression. The researchers also found that when people walked 7,000 daily steps, compared to walking 2,000 steps, they were 47 per cent less likely to die during the follow-up periods of the studies analysed.

"Although 10,000 steps per day can still be a viable target for those who are more active, 7,000 steps per day is associated with clinically meaningful improvements in health outcomes and might be a more realistic and achievable target for some," the authors wrote in the study. "Even modest daily step counts were associated with health benefits," they added. "7,000 steps per day was associated with sizeable risk reductions across most outcomes, compared with the reference of 2,000 steps per day." 'More is always better' Commenting on the study, Dr Daniel Bailey, Reader - Sedentary Behaviour and Health, Brunel University of London, said: "The finding that doing 5000-7000 steps per day is an important addition to the literature which helps to debunk the myth that 10,000 steps per day should be the target for optimal health. "This study suggested that 5,000-7,000 steps per day can significantly reduce the risk of many health outcomes, but that does not mean you cannot get benefits if you don't meet this target. "The study also found that health risks were reduced with each 1000 extra steps per day, up to a maximum of 12,000 steps per day. So just adding more steps from your starting point can have important benefits for health." Dr Andrew Scott, senior Lecturer in clinical exercise physiology at the University of Portsmouth, added: "In most cases the 10,000 steps per day will still be better than 7,000 steps, just by decreasing margins of health benefit return. "More important than the exact number of steps, it demonstrates that overall, more is always better and people should not focus too much on the numbers, particularly on days where activity is limited. "The steps per day is useful when people's exercise is weight-bearing, however, cycling, swimming and rowing are not well-represented by the steps per day model."

Shop-bought health tests not fit for purpose, warn experts – as they present ‘significant risk' for wrong diagnosis

The self-test market is booming in Britain TESTING TIMES Shop-bought health tests not fit for purpose, warn experts – as they present 'significant risk' for wrong diagnosis Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOP-BOUGHT medical tests are unreliable and need tougher regulation, say scientists. The kits are readily available from supermarkets for checking health factors like high cholesterol, vitamin deficiencies, fertility and prostate problems. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Self-testing became normal during the Covid pandemic Credit: Getty But experts warn 'evidence for their benefit is lacking'. A study by the University of Birmingham found many cannot back up claims about their accuracy. Testing found many have confusing or unreadable instructions, and customers often do not know what to do with their results. Scientists said they should go through more stringent quality checks and be regulated like medical products. Professor Jon Deeks said: 'Current regulations are not adequately protecting consumers. 'For matters of our health, it is important that the evidence upon which health decisions are made is available and can be scrutinised.' Kits cost as little as £1.89 There is a booming market for the tests, which mostly work like Covid lateral flow tests, and the UK industry is set to be worth half a billion pounds by 2030. Researchers bought 30 of the kits from shops around Birmingham, costing between £1.89 and £39.99, and evaluated them. They found at least 18 had 'high risk' problems that might lead to a wrong result or decision. Eleven had equipment quality issues, 10 did not have a proper sampling process and 15 had issues with the instructions or advice on what to do with the results. British Heart Foundation video explains what exactly is meant by the risk of high cholesterol Those with problems included tests for menopause hormones, kidney function, vitamin D and thyroid function. In one example, Prof Deeks said the self-tests for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, a marker of prostate health, were fixed at a certain concentration level. However, 'if you're age 70 you need to have your PSA done at a very different level to when you're 20', he said. False results could put strain on the NHS Dr Clare Davenport said: 'A good test should be clear about who and when to use it. 'It should be easy to use and easy to interpret. 'We expect it to be accurate and we expect it to be evidence-based if it's going to be sold to the general public, with clear advice of what to do with next steps. 'Unfortunately, what we found is that actually many tests gave unclear or missing guidance. 'On one side, if you get a false positive result that might lead to unnecessary extra testing, unnecessary treatments or just anxiety to patients. 'And on the other side, you may have a false negative and you get this false reassurance, which can lead to missed or delayed diagnosis and delayed treatment with obviously worse outcomes for patients. 'All of this can have an impact on health care demand. 'The wrong test or result can then lead to unnecessary or additional appointments, investigations and treatments and a higher burden on the NHS.' Dr Bernie Croal, president of the Royal College of Pathologists, said: 'There are significant risks to patients when poor quality tests are carried out inappropriately.' However, the team said that in the future, home tests could have great potential for patient care. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which regulates medical products, said it would look at the findings. It issued its own warning about the kits in June and said they must not be taken as real medical advice. The MHRA said: 'Self-tests can provide helpful insights, but they're not a substitute for medical advice or a diagnosis. 'If you're unsure about a result, or have symptoms you're worried about, speak to a GP, pharmacist or other healthcare professional before making any decisions.' The research was published in the British Medical Journal.
