By Will Dahlgreen BBC News Women work on average 39 more days a year than men according to the World Economic Forum.
Women work on average 50 minutes more a day than men, data from the WEF's Global Gender Gap report suggests.
The report says the prevalence of unpaid work burdens women and estimates that economic inequalities between the sexes could take 170 years to close.
The gap in economic opportunity, the WEF says, is now larger than at any point since 2008.
Nearly a quarter of a billion women have entered the global workforce over the past decade, the report says.
Although men do 34% more paid work than women, women still spend more of their time on unpaid work such as housework, childcare and care for older people.
When this is factored in, the WEF calculates women work more than a month more than men per year.

If you are Me-again Kelly, you spend those extra work days on your back, so not such demanding work, eh?
Who wants to bet that the self centered left will skim the headline and assume”women in Manhattan work more, and it’s unfair! We need more laws!”
Yeah, but I still don't see a GAW DAM SAMMICH in front of me!
Also, the worst jobs are dominated by men. My definition of a very bad job is a job that has low pay and is dangerous. Working in a convenience store at night, parking lot attendants at night, garbage men, etc. In the high crime retail sites the management deliberately schedules men to work the night shifts when the robberies occur. I know. I have been there. I never got paid extra for carrying the cash receipts at night to the bank drop box down the street.
What BS
Absolute barnyard bagels! Women take off for every hangnail, broken heel, menstrual cramp, or bad hair day. Then there are the pregnancies and “family leave” time. Maybe in France or Germany women are the workhorses, but in American businesses, I’d bet men work 5 days to womens’ 4.
I plan to so a study that will prove that the outcome of all studies are pre-determined.
yeah, right...
Probably because they spend 2 hours more chatting with friends, shopping at lunch, and hanging out in the bathroom fixing their makeup etc
Basically this is an embarrassingly public way for the women involved to admit that they have deep unresolved problems with men, problems that aren’t going away anytime soon.
Men do 34% more paid work than women, but women take more family responsibility, and this is the problem? What, women should be paid to wash the family dishes? Each family can work this kind of stuff out for themselves.
>>unpaid work such as housework
Over the past 35 years of marriage, I’ve learned that these rules apply to housework:
1) Mens’s Work is Men’s Work.
2) Women’s Work must be split 50/50.
3) Once a man does a traditional Woman’s Work task more than 3 times, it becomes Men’s Work.
4) Go back to #2 and renegotiate the 50/50 split.
5) See #3.
6) Repeat #2 and #3 until almost all work is Men’s Work.
7) Go to social gatherings and hang out with other wives and bitch about how “little” your husband does based on the original 50/50 split.
“Read the book “How to Lie with Statistics” and you will dismiss 98% of the information put out by the government, UN, and other “self acclaimed expert” organizations.”
Bingo. We are inundated with lies.
It doesn’t take 50 minutes to make a sandwich.
i guess not enough women are voting for hillary.
Maybe calendar days.
Not actual hours in a day.
Take it from someone with enough vacation time to basically take the rest of the year off.
bull stuffing.
Well if they’re going to assume womans house work is “Un-paid.....then you would have to include all the mens ‘unpaid home maintenance and yard work with that assessment. Including delivery service when the wife says to pick up this or that on his way home.
If men didn’t have to wait so long for them to go to the kitchen and make our sammiches we’d get more done!
Heck that might make up all the 39 days right there.
