Does Auckland really have a good work-life balance?

Forget the horrendous daily traffic and million-dollar house prices – Auckland has been ranked fifth in the world for work-life balance.

Forbes Advisor’s Worldwide Work-Life Balance Index ranks major cities based on a number of factors including happiness, gender equality and average working hours.

Auckland scored 62.7 out of 100, which was only 7.8 points behind top-ranked Copenhagen, Denmark.

Auckland received its high score due to the city having a “relaxed and friendly atmosphere, making it a comfortable and enjoyable place to live and work”.

But can you even enjoy the work-life balance when you spend an hour of your evening trying to get home, or your mortgage is so big that you can’t afford to do anything outside of work?

What do you think? Does Auckland deserve to be the fifth-best city in the world for work-life balance? Vote in the Yeah, Nah poll above.
