Denmark, without compromising on work ethics and education, has emphasized a balanced work life approach. While in many countries, people work overtime in order to maximize their earnings, the Danish people have appreciated the benefits of relaxation, which is why only 2 percent of the people work very long hours, a huge drop from the OECD average of 13 percent. The Danish graded their satisfaction with life a seven-and-a-half out of 10, which is one of the highest in the world, and truly cements their position as the country with the highest standard of living in the world in 2017.
