Recovery Time

This ranking compares how much practical recovery time people can expect in everyday life. The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value based on working time, vacation, holidays, burnout risk and life satisfaction; higher values indicate more usable recovery space.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for practical recovery time. 100 means countries where workload, free days and the wider recovery environment combine most favourably in the current comparison.

The calculation combines five components: annual working hours count for 30%, burnout risk 20%, statutory paid vacation 20%, nationwide public holidays 15%, and life satisfaction 15%. This means the indicator considers whether everyday life actually leaves room for recovery, not only formal leave rights.

Nomadino uses public source families such as ILOSTAT working-time data, OECD time-use data, statutory vacation and holiday sources, the World Happiness Report, and maintained Nomadino values from the work-life-balance board. For territories without complete direct coverage, replacements are derived from legal area, labour market and comparator countries.

The rating equals the rounded raw value. The indicator measures recovery room, not productivity, income, remote work, individual lifestyle planning or leisure infrastructure itself.
