Imagine being able to live the good life by working just one day a week. There’s a country where you can live just like that.
If in Italy there is never enough money to make ends meet, there are countries where you can live the good life by working very little: no more than one day a week. Let’s find out where these “Earthly Paradises” are located.
Working more doesn’t necessarily mean earning more or living a more comfortable life. There are professions that allow you to earn a lot while working relatively little. The economic situation varies greatly from place to place. In fact, not in all countries the amount of weekly hours is the same, just as the salaries are not the same.
In Italy, for example, on average people work 36 hours a week and the average salary of an employee is around 1500 euros per month. In Germany people work around 34 hours a week but the salaries are higher. The European countries where people work the least are: Holland, Austria and Norway.
But if we look outside Europe, what is the situation like? There are countries where you can live very well by working very little. Even in some places you can live comfortably by working just one day a week. A true earthly paradise for those who want to enjoy life.
Live well by working one day a week: here you can do it
Tired of working 5 or 6 days a week to make it to the end of the month with water in your throat? This is not the situation everywhere. There is a country where you could live well working just one day a week. Let’s see where it is.
In Italy we work more than in most European countries but we receive lower salaries on average and making it to the end of the month is increasingly complicated. But in the rest of the world there are places where you can still live well with little and, above all, by working little.
The country where people work the least is Kiribati, an archipelago located in Australia: here, on average, the weekly working hours are only 27. Some work only one day a week. It is not only a place where you can live in relaxation but also a paradise from a landscape point of view.
Among the most famous cities of Kiribati we find Butaritari where several war remains dating back to World War II are still present today. On the island of Baikiri there are, however, the government offices, the parliament, the office and the residence of the president. For those who love staying in contact with nature and popular traditions, the island of Tabiteuea is ideal where the link with popular habits and customs is still very strong.
Finally, a wonderful and characteristic place is Abemama: typical of the island is the barking frog, a tiny yellow frog, used in the past to defeat mosquitoes. If you want to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy life by working as little as possible, then Kiribati is the right place for you.
