Slovenia placed 10th on the list of the most hard working nations with an average of 8.15 hours worked daily, possibly as a result of the fact that Slovenians do three hours and 51 minutes of unpaid work each day, 24 minutes more than the OECD average.
Slovenia also has the lowest income inequality in the OECD and low relative income poverty rate. Slovenia registered a big fall in infant mortality in the last generation and has the second lowest rate in the OECD of 2.1 per 1,000 live births, just after Luxembourg.
However, CNBC also reports that the country is rated in the highest third of the OECD for perceived corruption and the lowest third for confidence in national institutions.
Topping the list of hard working nations is Mexico with an average 9.54 hours worked daily. The country also places second in terms of income inequality and has the highest relative income poverty rate in the OECD.
