It may come as no surprise that Copenhagen has once again been ranked among the best cities in the world when it comes to work-life balance.
According to the 2020 Work–Life Balance Index, the Danish capital ranks third out of the 50 cities looked at, behind leaders Oslo and Helsinki.
The index looked into four main categories (Work Intensity, Society and Institutions, City Livability and COVID-19) and Copenhagen performed well in nearly all 19 subcategories thereof.
For instance, the city ranked in the top five in: Hours Worked & Commuted/Week, Overworked Population, Minimum Vacation Offered, Social Spending and Happiness, Culture & Leisure.
