不再是夢，到這5個國家生活吧！
時下流行Working Holiday，不少不甘於枯燥乏味打工仔生活的香港人都喜歡趁三十歲前出走香港，到外國生活一段時間，一邊工作一邊深入體驗當地的文化。Working Holiday之所以對香港人這麼吸引是因為不少人的現實生活未如理想──超長工時（無補水）、昂貴租金、通脹、狹窄的生活空間、急促的生活節奏等等，都令到香港人的工作和生活壓力很大。如果你也嚮往外國那種Work-Life Balance的生活，日後無論遇上到外國交流、升學、工作假期，還是移民的機會，以下由經合組織（OECD）所計算出來，Work-Life Balance指數最高的5個國家，將會是你不錯的選擇！ #5 Belgium 在比利時，法律規定員工不能工作超過八小時，即每週工作不能多於38小時，通常只有高中層管理人員需要加班工作，不過加班工作亦需要申請批准。在比利時，星期日工作是犯法的。比利時人通常都能夠放一個月暑假，而且每位員工放暑假時享有相等於月薪85%的紅利。
