A joint team from the University of Tokyo and McGill University in Canada analyzed the commute times of residents in 43 countries and confirmed the above facts.
The analysis showed that Moroccans had the shortest average commute time at 48 minutes, while Koreans had the longest commute time at 1 hour and 48 minutes.
The average commute time was calculated to be 1 hour and 8 minutes, which means that South Korea's commute time is about 1.5 times longer than the average. Dr. Galbraith, who led the study, said, "The commute time is not enough time for personal meals.
"It affects travel and rest patterns and is directly linked to health," he explained. A study conducted by Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin, China, on over 30,000 people also found that people who commute for more than six hours a week have poor physical health.
-It has been confirmed that mental health indicators are declining.
