Average usual weekly hours worked on the main job

This dataset contains data on average usual weekly hours worked in the main job broken down by total employment, full-time employment and part-time employment. Actual hours of work, instead of usual hours of work, are only available in some countries (Mexico and Korea). Data are further broken down by professional status - employees, total employment - by sex and standardised age groups (15-24, 25-54, 55-64, 65+ and total) . <p /> Detailed notes and sources can be found in <a href="https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/data/datasets/employability-data/LFSNOTES_SOURCES.pdf">LFS_NOTES_SOURCES</a>. <p /> In order to facilitate analysis and comparisons over time, historical data for OECD members have been provided over as long a period as possible, often even before a country became a member of the Organisation. Information on the membership dates of all OECD countries can be found at: <a href="http://www.oecd.org/about/membersandpartners/list-oecd-member-countries.htm">OECD Ratification Dates</a>.
