Work-life balance score: 70.5
Bottom line: Beating Helsinki by 5.4 points, Copenhagen is the most livable city for anyone who cares about work-life balance. People often move about the city on foot or by bike, reducing traffic and pollution and keeping the population healthy and active.
Besides museums and world-famous landmarks, the Danish capital also has green spaces and a strong cafe culture that encourages people to sit back and relax. Add to this an unemployment rate of 2.4 percent, 52 weeks of parental leave and a work week that averages 25.9 hours, and you’ll start to feel jealous of Danish people.
As the amazing cherry on top of everything, Denmark is rated number one on the Gender Inequality Index Rating, so you can expect less gender-based discrimination in the workplace.
