Women and Men in OECD countriesHealth
(Overweight Adults)
More men than women are overweight in all OECD countries. When it comes to obesity, the male and female percentages are
the same in four countries, in 11 countries the female percentages are higher and the male percentages are higher in the remaining 15.
The low percentages for both men and women in Japan and Korea are most likely associated with their traditional diets which are low in carbohydrates.
Many overweight or obese men say their weight is about right. Women tend to make more accurate self-assessments, but are inclined to err on the side of overestimation, thinking they are overweight when they are not.

Women and Men in OECD countries Work
(Part time and long workweeks)
More than one in four women work part-time and nearly three out four part-time jobs are held by women.
Working paid or unpaid long workweeks is a “man’s thing” in all OECD countries. In Iceland, Mexico and Turkey 60% or more of men report that they work more than 45 hours per week. Quite high percentages of women work more than 45 hours in Mexico and Turkey.

Women and Men in OECD countries Lifestyle
(Life satisfaction)
The World Value Surveys ask respondents to rank their feelings of satisfaction with their lives on a scale from 1 to 10.
In most countries more men than women report above average life satisfaction.
Do women tend to apply higher standards than men in assessing their life-satisfaction? Or do cultural and economic factors make for less satisfying lives for women in most OECD countries?
