Top Nations For Work-Life Balance

Portugal

Employees working very long hours: 9 percent

Employment rate of women with children: 65 percent

Time devoted to leisure and personal care: 15.27 hours

Portugal has made significant progress over the last few years in modernizing its economy and improving the living standards of its citizens, however the global financial crisis has surely weakened its growth.
