According to a new report by the cross-border e-commerce platform Ubuy, the United Kingdom is named the worst country in Europe, tied with Greece. Ranking-details, at the time of travel, payment holidays, working hours and national happiness-34-The UK of the Index of the country holds the bottom.
The UK scored 107 out of the potential 136 points, where a low score indicates a better commuting experience. The report has highlighted the decline in goodness as the major factors behind the rising costs, long travel time, limited payment time and UK's poor performance.
UK travelers face the third most average monthly cost in Europe at £ 67.21, slightly behind Luxembourg and Switzerland. Studies show that, with an increase in train fares and fuel prices, many British workers are spending more to work on holidays than some Europeans.
Average UK 40 minutes of watches-one of the longest time in the Europe-and full-time workers only receive the statutory payment annual holiday (except bank holidays) between the lowest in the ranking.
The UK has also performed poorly on the wagi form, with a national pleasure score of 6.75 out of 10, it is well placed behind the top-ranked countries such as Finland and Estonia. The combination of high commuting costs, long -working weeks and limited comfort time is creating a recipe for burnouts, the report warns.
Meanwhile, Greece – also shares 107 points scoring – similar problems. Greece joins the UK on the bottom location, with a score of average work hours of 39.8 per week and a low joy of 5.93.
Cyprus, Italy and France complete the five below. While leaving for its warm climate, these countries scored poorly due to high parking and commuting costs, and limited flexibility around work hours and brakes.
In contrast, Estonia topped the leaderboard with a score of 64 points, thanks to the low commuting costs, cheap lunch and a solid work-life balance. Finland and Lithuania tied for second place (68 points), followed by Sweden and Romania in third (74 points), praised for emphasizing their strength and employee good.
Ubui spokesman Faizan Khan said, “This ranking should act as a wake-up call.” “With more people returning from time to time, the stress of cost, time, and stress is once again central how employees feel about work. Countries such as Estonia show that affordable transport and balanced work hours are possible-Britain has to do something.”
The study follows hybrid work in the UK, flexible hours and renewed discussions around transportation improvement. With inflation and interest rates to influence domestic finance, advocates are urging the government to assure policies and workplace expectations to reducing the burden on workers.
As once again millions of Brits become a daily reality, this ranking not only underlines the importance of where people work – but how they reach there.
