Over the past 10 years, men worked on average between four and five hours more per week than women. Moreover, whereas the number of weekly working hours for men has decreased slighlty, from almost 34 hours in 2011 to 32 hours in 2021, the number for women was almost exactly the same in 2021 as it was 10 years earlier. There was a fall in the weekly number of working hours for both genders in 2020, which was caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
