Vivre à l’étranger studyrama.com: «According to you, for which type of expatriate is this experience the most difficult?

« For the family and the trailing spouses. Usually, the employee will start working a lot more than in the home country, and spend a lot more time at work than at home. Moreover, the family does not know much about the language, or the culture of the country, making it difficult for them to build a social network. The family feels out of sink, some suffer from culture shock. Others want to find their feet, something which reassures them, such as a job, or an activity that gives their experience a meaning, which is not always straightforward.”

Expatriate employees work on average 13.4h more per week than back home, per month, that's 53.6h spent at work .
