Regarding full-time work, Greek workers worked most hours, with 42.5 hours for men and 39.9 hours for women, exceeding that figure for the European average, at 40.4 hours and 39.2 hours, respectively. Next, in the Netherlands, both men and women reported the same figure, at 38 hours each, and that is lower than the European average. In addition, 37.5 hours for men and 37 hours for women were reported in the UK, and that figure became the lowest in three nations.
Part-time workers generally worked fewer hours. The European average was recorded as the highest, at 34 hours for women and 32 hours for men.
