The study from money.co.uk analysed data from ONS and uncovered the 12 worst-ranked locations in Scotland for work/life balance. But would you agree with the scoring which puts these places in the bottom 12 worst places to live in Scotland?
Eight different factors were considered in the rankings, and scored equally between the various categories. These included happiness, anxiety, life satisfaction, access to public and green spaces, earnings and hours worked, and unemployment levels.
