8. Zimbabwe
Website VenasNews puts Zimbabwe in the middle of the list of hard working countries, but 23.8% of inactive people show that they are not as hardworking as first impression shows. Unfortunately, politics and a bad economy are the reasons for low employment rate (according to some sites only 11% are employed in formal section). That’s why we cannot just say that they are lazy. Describing them as the victims of bad politic and corruption is closer to the truth.
