Which countries rise the earliest according to the OECD?

They seem simply curious data, but i Economic analysts rely on them to analyze the productivity of countries and people, their causes and consequences.

Do early risers wake up earlier? According to the saying, no.

Even if there are morning people who dedicate their time to non-work activities (like going to mass, for example), In most countries this data is used to analyze hours spent at work, since it is the workday to which people devote most of their waking time.

There are sites specializing in business and economic wealth that reveal surprising data. One of them is the Spanish site Business Insider which, on the basis of a report from the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), reveals which countries get up first and discovers that the one leads the ranking It is the one with the lowest productivity, because the motivation is not economic but cultural and religious.

The first countries

The world’s list of OECDprepared by World Statistics and immediately disseminated by the famous Forbes economic magazineat the forefront of the rest of the media, it looks like this:

1. Colombia: 6:30 in the morning.
2. Indonesia: 6:55 in the morning.
3. Japan: 7:09 in the morning.
4. Mexico: 7:09 in the morning.
5. Denmark: 7:19 in the morning.
6. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: 7:20 in the morning.
7. Germany: 7:25 in the morning.
8. Brazil: 7:31 in the morning.
9. China: 7:42 in the morning.
10. Spain: 8.05 in the morning.

AND the Business Insider site seems to smile at the sleepy Greeks and Arabs, who put theirs wakes up at 8.25am and 8.27am respectively.

Now let’s see. It seems that the city of Bogota (Colombia) gets up very early because the ambient noise wakes her up.

There are studies on traffic in metropolises, such as the Global Traffic Scorecard the Inrix website which places Bogota in fifth place among the cities with the highest number of vehicles in circulation on the planet.

Colombians go to bed very early, comments Forbes magazine, given that Colombia is among them the first five places of the 60 countries analyzed in that survey.

That is to say, Colombians sleep with chickens. But they get up with the roosters and start the working day very early, which turns out to be the longest recorded among the countries that make up the OECD: That’s 48 hours a week.

Together with Mexico, Colombia has the lowest gross domestic product (GDP): $19.50 per hour worked. In this case it is confirmed that “no matter how early you get up, you wake up earlier”.

The most productive countries are Ireland ($119 per hour)Luxembourg ($110) and Denmark, which with an annual GDP of $398.3 billion, starts at 7:19.

To close, the quote from Elon Musk: “No one can change the world by working 40 hours a week,” published by Xataka.com. This site adds: “it is the poorest countries that work the most, mainly due to economic needs and low wages.”
