Women work seven hours more per week than men, study finds

Nearly a third of mothers with young children reported that they ‘always’ or ‘most of the time’ found it difficult to concentrate on their jobs because of family responsibilities.

Mothers of young children who did their jobs remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic were vastly more affected than other groups when it comes to work-life conflict.

In addition, among those with jobs, women’s total weekly working time when paid and unpaid work are combined exceeds that of men by seven hours in the EU.
