  1. I think in Spain people have a good work-life balance. We work 40 hours a week and usually have the weekends to ourselves.
    My case is a little different because I work at the weekends. I have to take home a lot of work. However, I enjoy my job so I can't complain.

  2. I'm happy with my work-life balance. Some days I feel stressed because I don't have much free time because I work and study, but I have time to stay with my family and I see my friends everyday, and it's enough for me.
    At weekends I have much free time and I can do all things I want.
    I think most people in Spain have a good work-life balance.

  3. I am agree with the France government.
    Work 35 hour a week is very goog for the worker.
    It is better less and intensive work hour tham more and wester work hour.
    And a happy population is more productive for his country.

  5. I'm not happy with my balance at all.I work all the day and i don´t sleep enough time.
    I have to look after with my family and my house if i worked in a company i wouldn't work too many hours and they paid me a salary but i am a house wife,anyway, I think house wife work is not a job well paid and compensate.

  6. Hello!!! My name is Torian Viktorinov. I live in Spain but I'm from Siberia. Here in Spain people works about 35-40 hours in a week. I work nine hours a day as a bricklayer, in enormous buildings, and I'm very happy with my job. I have holidays during a month and I can visit my old and ill parents, who live in my far country. I can talk Spanish very well and I enjoy a lot talking with my workmates. I'm a lucky Russian man.

  7. I'm happy with my work-life balance, I'm a student and although sometimes I'm very stressed, I use to have free time to know people and make friends.
    Other thing that I like is that I've choosen what I'm doing and it isn't an obligation.

  8. I´m happy with my job but sometimes I miss some time to spend with my family and my friends. I need some extra time to my hobby, the gardening, too. I hardly ever get stressed, and if I feel a bit nervous some yoga exercises are enough for me to feel better.
