Countries by Time Satisfaction

What Time Satisfaction Measures

Average satisfaction with time use on a 0-10 scale, from OECD How's Life / Well-Being.

Why This Ranking Matters

Examining Time Satisfaction across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.

Global Range

Values range from 4.80 0-10 scale (Turkey) to 7.70 0-10 scale (Mexico) — a 2-fold difference across 31 countries.

Regional Patterns

European countries dominate this ranking, holding 18 of the top 20 positions. This strong regional concentration suggests shared economic, geographic, or policy factors that drive higher values across the continent.

Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 6.58 0-10 scale to 7.41 0-10 scale. The overall spread from 4.80 0-10 scale to 7.70 0-10 scale reflects significant global variation.

Notable Outliers

The top of the ranking is competitive: Mexico and Finland are separated by only 0%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data.
