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.

That's it. I'm moving. I have wanted to live like that all my life! But Nooooooooooo. I have to be born in the U.S. Stupid ambitious U.S.
I'm horrified by a lack of free time too. But I'm a guy. Can I find a partner to live off of too? Bonus points if you're a Dutch woman.
It did not work for my EX! she is so depressed...... brrrr and only works three days a week... claiming to be sooooo busy all the time...
I'd be pretty damn depressed if I had to depend on someone else for the majority of my income. Different strokes, I guess.
or its because the cycling system works there.
