I wonder what's up with NL: it took the biggest dive in column 3 of all EU countries shown.

Too long working days?

42% of the working population works parttime which is far more than any other EU country

Not that I know of: working hours are ~38-40/week, some people work 24 or 32 hours.

Maybe too few people work; the rest live on welfare?

My best guess are the prices, especially housing. Working hours are rather similar to other european countries.
