The tables illustrate information about the average hours worked by full-time and part-time women and men in three countries, such as Greece, the Netherlands and the UK along with comparison with the European average in 2002.
Overall, the most noticeable feature is that the average number of hours for full-time workers was significantly bigger than for part-time workers at each point. Furthermore, Greece made up almost the highest figures. By contrast, the UK showed the lowest figures in both tables. It is worth noting that men worked slightly longer than women in 2002.
Looking first at the average number of hours for full-time workers, Greece accounted for 39.9 for women and 42.5 for men, which were the highest figures among all the points. Besides, the European average took second place after Greece. However, the UK recorded the lowest figure in the table: 37.0 for women, 37.5 for men. In the Netherlands, both accounted for 38.0.
Looking next at the category of part-time workers, the European average made up the highest average number of hours in the table: 34.0 for women and 32.0 for men. In addition, women worked more than men in the Netherlands along with the European average. The UK reached the lowest figure of 28.0 for women and 29.0 for men.
