OVERVIEW

The number of hours worked has an impact on workers’ well-being and labour productivity. These statistics are important in monitoring working conditions and analysing economic developments. There are three measures of hours worked, which are consistent with the concepts and definitions recommended by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) – Paid Hours Worked, Usual Hours Worked, and Actual Hours Worked.
