It would be interesting to also see the productivity in that time.

Germany has a higher GDP than every other country yet Germans work less than 34 hours a week…

It’s really funny how stereotypes can be so contrary to the truth. I’m looking at you from Southern Europe, German politicians.

Personally, me in the US, on average I’m AT work for 40. Actually working for about 15.

Is this the average number of hours worked per capita among those who are able to work, or among those who are actually working? Because that’s quite a significant difference, as in the Netherlands the statistics bureau does not incorporate those who are not willing to work (also those on maternity / paternity leave). We therefore score low on metrics of total productivity, but looking to those actually working, the Netherlands is actually pretty high on hours worked / productivity.

Come on Italians, we can do better than Germany! Let’s lazy up our game.

Stupid question – but does this include lunch?
JourneyThiefer on
Is this including breaks or just the actual hours worked?
Still, be careful with these numbers because it could hide some differences (less women work for exemple)

This is generally nonsense, it is an average of everyone in the labor market. Some work 42 hours a week, others 25. All countries have a norm for full-time work, such as Denmark where it is 37 hours a week.

Do these countries have an equal share of women in the workforce?
My mother was a stay at home mom and my dad worked 40-50 hours a week. But I work 36 hours a week and my wife works 12 hours a week. The total number of hours are the same, but the results it would show here are very different.

The netherlands works the least amount of hours, but had (last time i checked) the highest workforce participation rate.

I’d say realistically in Norway it’s 30 or a bit less than that. I mean office jobs in private sector.
II think they mean “members of the European Union”. Welsh, Scots, English and Northern Irish still be Europeans…

43? Wrong! I work 51hours 😂

I work 40 hours in the Netherlands. I can confirm the rest works 32.

It’s not about how many hours you work, it’s about efficiency
enigbert on
Germany, Netherlands, Denmark have a higher percentage of part-time workers. Eastern Europe has a lower percentage of part-time workers and a lower participation of women in the workforce (so many women are housewives instead of working part-time)
Germany, quite infamously, has a big low wage sector, in part thanks to their so-called “Minijobs”. I’d guess that those are partly responsible for the low number of hours.

Why is the UK always excluded from these things when other non EU countries are counted?
Icesernik on
I work in germany, Im from Poland, the only reason germans “works less” is that you dont get paid for your break so you are still 8 hours in works so actually its bullshit imo

Just your friendly reminder that just because the UK left the EU doesn’t mean it left Europe. That is all.

For reference, [Average Weekly Hours of All Employees for the U.S.](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/AWHAETP) currently sits at 34.3 hours.
At my high school (as a french student) we work 40 hours per week 😩

[Part-time employment ](https://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en/tools/skills-intelligence/part-time-employment?year=2022&country=EU#1)is 40% in Netherlands, 30% in Germany and Austria, between 20 and 27% in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Ireland; but 2% in Bulgaria, 4% in Romania and Slovakia, 5-6%% in Hungary, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland
