Indian women work 94 mins more than men every day: OECD survey

According to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) report on gender and employment, women in India work over one-and-a-half hours more than the country's men every day, making this difference in total work hours the maximum in nearly 30 countries. Across the member countries of the OECD, women on an average spend 21 minutes more in total work each day than men do. Overall, the gap is the widest in India, where women spend on average 94 minutes more time than the men on total work each day, the OECD report said. However, in some countries – Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and New Zealand – men spend slightly more time than women on total work per day. In Britain and Germany, women and men spend almost equal time on total work each day. The report states that there is a worldwide increase in women's participation in the labor force but considerable gaps remain in working hours, conditions of employment and earnings.
