Here's a look at how work-life balance compares in the US, France, Australia, and the UK
While French employees minimize work-related conversations outside of the office, they don't show up late in the day, à la Emily. But as Marie Culleron, a 23-year-old bid project manager who commutes to Paris daily for work, pointed out, it's up to the company's policy. She also highlighted that newer generations tend to have better boundaries.
She continued:"Once you log off, that's it. You're done for the day. Social media can attest to people sharing the same views. Young people refuse to let work immerse itself in their private life." Much of France also takes almost all of August off. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2019 that half of all salaried employees in France were on vacation during the first three weeks of August, citing data from the national statistics agency Insee.
It found that Australians worked between 32 to 38 hours a week on average. They get 20 days of PTO, excluding bank holidays, and mothers can receive from 60 days to 16 weeks of maternity leave.
