9 in the morning to 5 in the evening ie 8 hours of work is considered normal, but it is not so for about a third of the world's working population. This information has come out from a report by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

 

Revealed in the 'Work-Life Balance' report

According to the ILO's report 'Work-Life Balance' on Friday, before the Corona epidemic, the average working hours in the whole world were 43.9 per week. This is a near-perfect situation, but about a third of people worked more than 48 hours per week. And about 20% worked less than 35 hours per week.

 

The Pandemic took more time for less work

Work culture has changed in many countries of the world. Somewhere there is a culture of 4 days work week and somewhere there is a culture of 5 days work week. The ILO said in its report – the long hours of work during the epidemic were reduced slightly. Long working hours increased to some extent, but by the end of 2020, the situation is almost back to pre-Covid conditions. Actually, due to Corona, the culture of working from home had come in most countries, which continues in many places even today.
