Lowest Working Hours
Understand lowest working hours: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Average hours worked reflect part-time work, leave and the mix of workers, not simply the length of a standard working week. Annual hours per employed person differ from weekly hours among full-time workers. A lower average does not automatically mean less output, since productivity and employment patterns can also differ.
