According to a new analysis by Business Name Generator, Malta has classified as the most hard working country in the world out of 150 other countries. 

With 42.8 in average paid work hours per week, Malta was found to have 91.1% of workers working 49 or more hours per week.

Malta topped a list which includes Bhutan, the United Arab Emirates and Bangladesh in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place respectively. 

Most notable is the difference between 1st and 2nd place, with Bhutan registering 53.9% of its workers working 49 or more hours per week. 

However, Bhutan still registered slightly more average paid work hours per week at 50.7. 

‘On the other end of the spectrum, countries such as Israel, Austria, Netherlands, and France appear at the bottom of the ranking, with shorter work weeks and minimal overtime contributing to this’ the study explained. 

‘While this may suggest a more laid-back approach to work in these nations, it may also reflect a commitment to work-life balance and a focus on personal well-being.’
