Es gibt viele Faktoren und Maßnahmen, die zu einer guten Work-Life-Balance beitragen. Das ist das ganze Jahr 2025 Work-Life-Balance-Ranking. Im Industrieländervergleich rückte Deutschland auf den 4. Platz vor, wobei sich der Index im Vergleich zu 2024 leicht verbesserte und 74,65 erreichte. Entspricht dies der Realität der meisten Arbeitnehmer und den Erwartungen?

„With a four-day week and work-life balance, [we will not be able to maintain prosperity](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F7b779un6up0f1.jpeg)“ – Chancellor Merz
I am a WFH fulltime software developer and i cannot really complain about my work-life balance.
that is great news, but looking at the economic data not sure how this is sustainable.
is not that people are not noticing the jobs being move to low cost centres (some in Europe) at a faster pace.
We need to focus more on growth im afraid
I WFH but I have looked for some opportunities here and have been surprised by the number of hours per week they want people to work and lack of four day week offering. My last job at a company was also a five-day week and underpaid. So, I struggled with work-life balance personally. I think it may simply be harder for a non-native worker who isn’t used to the customs etc. You also want to work as hard as possible to make a good impression.
And Germans are still complaining..
Not surprising really, most employees here even those in startups think they are working in an airport. They come at 9:30 and leave at 5:30. Doesn’t surprise me that there are very few successful startups coming out of Germany.
It’s definitely a benefit that attracts great workers.
No one wants to work 996 as China does.
Nice. But you only get into the statistics if you have a job already. This is an issue.
Well, not much longer if Charlotte Merz’ husband gets his will 😤
And it’s exactly why Germany, my ladies and gentlemen , is having an extremely hard time with economic growth. Almost non existence motivation and customer support. Startups prefer less paper work and more freedom. It’s just expensive and slow here
Guess we will fall a few places soon.
I think germans on one side complain to much about this. You should see the ballkans and other contries life balance and realize how blessed you are.
