Interesting data, but I think that the "Best Work-Life Balance" is misleading in this context. Good social security or city livability add greatly to quality of life, sure. But it is kind of perpendicular to the topic of work-life balance. Out of these statistics "% population overworked" or de facto vacation days taken are a better metric. BTW: does this >48h/week bases on the official contract or an actual state of matter (e.g. expected overtime, paid or not). The later is likely greater in some places. We all know that in many jobs (startups, academia, game industry, a lot of consulting) we often hear "nobody here works 8h for 5 days a week" - as a direct expectation.
