Canada has slipped in a worldwide ranking of work-life balance, but still remains well ahead of its southern neighbour.

The country ranks seventh on Remote Technology Inc.’s Global Life-Work Balance Index 2025 , falling from fifth last year, but is still the only country in the Americas to crack the top 10.

The country scored highly for its statutory sick pay, universal health care and support for LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
