• working time duration Working time is decreasing on average
From 40.5 hrs/week in 1991 (EC12) to 37.5 hrs/week in EU27 (2010)- On average men work 7 hrs more than women in paid empl- However: paid + unpaid work: women work more
Time segregation (next to occupational/sectoral/pay segreg)- Women work more shorter hours - Men work more longer hours- But women do bulk of household work
