Why Dutch Women Don't Get Depressed

 

A recent report reveals that fewer than 10% of Dutch women work full-time, and they face one of the highest wage gaps in Europe. But the surprise is it's not just mums with young families who work only two or three days a week, it's child-free women in their 20s and 30s, too.

And, it seems, it makes them incredibly happy. The reason is because the majority work part-time. They earn less and have less. Many live off their partner. But they don't care. They want to relax, read a book, see their friends. And they are horrified by the lack of free time.
