According to 2015 data, countries such as France, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Germany have higher productivity rates than Spain. This will not surprise many and appears to align with the stereotype held abroad. What is interesting is that, according to the OECD, despite having higher productivity, all those countries work fewer hours annually than Spain. In some, considerably fewer, as is the case with Germany (1,371 hours compared to the average of almost 1,700 hours per worker in Spain). The main cause of this low productivity is the existence of unhealthy and inflexible working environments that produce stress and decrease motivation.
