Some other countries if somebody is curious:
- Brazil: 1708
- Canada: 1689
- Mexico: 2137
- South Africa: 2191
- USA: 1765
Even if these numbers are correct they dont tell the whole story. Im moving from hungary to sweden and the stress and amountof work people do is a fraction of whats in hungary.
I wonder how work 'intensity' could be measured. Maybe intensity is only measurable through indirect means like prevalence of overworking-related diseases or a calculated number considering annual working hours and productivity, adjusting GDP per capita for relative productivity...
