In 2023, employees in most Central and Eastern European countries worked longer than the average weekly number of hours at the main full-time job (** hours) in the European Union. ***** worked the longest, nearly ** hours. Estonia, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia employees worked shorter than the EU average — below ** hours per week.

This statistic shows the average usual weekly hours worked in a main job in European countries in 2015, by gender. Iceland had the highest amount of weekly hours worked for both genders, averaging at 47.4 hours for men and 41.7 for women. Iceland also had the largest difference between genders and full-time weekly work hours, a difference of 5.7 hours per week.

The average number of weekly hours worked by full-time workers in the European Union was 40.3 hours a week as of the second quarter of 2024, one of the lowest number of average hours worked during this provided time period. While men worked more hours in full-time roles in the EU, this was reversed for part-time roles, where women worked more hours per week.

This statistic shows the average usual weekly hours worked in a main job in Europe in 2015, by country. Belgium had the highest amount of weekly hours worked at **** hours, whereas Portugal had the lowest, with an average of **** hours in a part-time working week.

This dataset presents the regulatory duration of work at SNCF for full-time positions. It is reduced on public holidays and days of rest.

This series is compared, for information, to the chronology of working time established by INSEE for the period 1950-2018 (national accounts, base 2014).

In order to provide a statistical description of the labour market, CBS has an integrated system of labour data developed, the labor accounts. The publication you have now opened

includes labour market data from these labour accounts, such as data

on employed persons and workers, jobs and the volume of labour. This one

detailed data can also be found in the tables on labour in

the paper publication National Accounts. In note 9.9 of this

paper publication can be found more information on the topics that

relate to labour.

This table has been discontinued. Data is available from

2001 to 2010.

2001 first quarter to 2011 first quarter.

Reason to stop:

The tables of the National Accounts, to be found under macro-economics,

are restructured. The tables are in a new

folder structure placed. A number of tables appear in the second half of

2011 revised. Some tables move one to one into a new table,

others are split up, others (partially) merged with other

tables. The aim of the restructuring is to ensure the availability of the

increase the numbers. The restructuring coincides with the revision of

the business classification in the tables of the national accounts

used. The National Accounts have passed this from the SBI '93

to the 2008 SBI.

Average number of usual weekly hours of work in main job by sex, age and NUTS 2 regions (hours)

As of 2023, 8.9 percent of employed people in the European Union usually worked from home. This share of home-office workers varied widely between European countries, with a 21 percent of finish workers usually working from home, compared to only one percent of Romanian workers. It was in general more common for women to work from home usually than men, however, this was notably reversed in some countries, such as Ireland where almost 23 percent of men regularly worked from home.

Persons in employment are those who, during the reference week, did any work for pay or profit for at least one hour, or were not working but had jobs from which they were temporarily absent. Family workers are included. The distinction between full-time and part-time work is made on the basis of a spontaneous answer given by the respondent. It is impossible to establish a more exact distinction between part-time and full-time work, due to variations in working hours between Member States and branches of industry.

Average usual working hours of employees, by possibility to work variable hours in the reference week, sex and age

ObjectivesThis study examined the gender and cross-country differences in the relationship between working hours and self-assessed health among working men and women in Europe, and further explored the moderating role of sleep disturbance in the relationship.MethodsWe used cross-sectional data from the 6th European Working Condition Survey on 14,603 men and 15,486 women across 30 countries in Europe. A multivariate logistic regression was applied to evaluate the relationship between working hours, sleep disturbance, and self- assessed health. In addition, we employed a two-stage multilevel logistic regression to assess the cross-country variations in the relationship between working hours and self-assessed health.ResultsThe study showed a slightly U-shaped relationship between working hours and less-than-good self-assessed health among working adults in Europe (

Average hours worked per employee, by working time, NACE Rev. 2 activity and NUTS 1 region

Employed persons with long working hours in main job as percentage of the total number of employed persons by sex, age, educational attainment level and work experience while studying

This dataset contains working hours of Trnava city office workplaces.

Between 2011 and 2023, full-time employees in Iceland worked significantly more than people in the four other Nordic countries and in the EU. In 2023, Icelanders worked 42.5 hours per week on average. Finns, Danes, and Norwegians worked the fewest hours on average. Both Swedes and Icelanders worked more hours than the EU average.

Number of employed persons who reduced their working hours in a move to full retirement - by sex, age and full time/part time work (1 000)

This table contains quarterly and annual figures on the working hours of the employed labor force. The population aged 15 to 75 (excluding the institutional population) with paid work is classified according to the number of hours they work. A breakdown by gender, age, level of education and position in the workplace is available for the various classifications. Data available from: 2013 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of August 16, 2023: The figures for the 2nd quarter of 2023 have been added. Changes as of August 17, 2022: None, this is a new table. This table has been compiled on the basis of the Labor Force Survey (EBB). Due to changes in the research design and the EBB questionnaire, the figures for 2021 are not directly comparable with the figures up to and including 2020. The key figures in this table have therefore been made consistent with the (non-seasonally adjusted) figures in the Labor participation table, seasonally adjusted key figures (see section 4), in which the results for the period 2013-2020 have been recalculated to match the results from 2021. When the results are further detailed according to job and personal characteristics, there may nevertheless be differences from 2020 to 2021 as as a result of the new method. When will new numbers come out? New figures will be published on November 14, 2023.
