Contrariamente a todas as notícias, a todas as mensagens de Natal e Ano Novo oficiais e não oficiais, há quem aponte o nosso país como o 9.º melhor lugar para viver e trabalhar:
Em conta estiveram indicadores como horas trabalhadas, percentagem de mães empregadas ou tempo despendido em lazer.
Principais conclusões do estudo, levado a cabo pela OCDE:
Finding a suitable balance between work and life is a challenge for all workers, especially working parents. Some couples would like to have (more) children, but do not see how they could afford to stop working. Other parents are happy with the number of children in their family, but would like to work more. This is a challenge to governments because if parents cannot achieve their desired work/life balance, not only is their welfare lowered but so is development in the country.
In Portugal, 67% of mothers are employed after their children begin school; this figure is slightly higher than the OECD average of 66% and suggests that mothers are able to successfully balance family and career.
Another important aspect of work-life balance is the amount of time a person spends at work. Evidence suggests that long work hours may impair personal health, jeopardize safety and increase stress. People in Portugal people work 1719 hours a year, lower than the OECD average of 1739 hours.
The more people work, the less time they have to spend on other activities, such as time with others or leisure. The amount and quality of leisure time is important for people’s overall well-being, and can bring additional physical and mental health benefits. People in Portugal devote an estimated 66% of their day, or 15.8 hours, to personal care (eating, sleeping, etc.)and leisure (socializing with friends and family, hobbies, games, computer and television use, etc.) – close to the OECD average.
