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.

They wouldn’t have to work so much if they weren’t so ineffective..../S
Home stuff doesn’t count. More caca.
Just nonsense
It’s my experience that women are heavier users of sick days and personal days off as a result of being the prime caretaker for the kids either in the absence of a father or the father’s inability to be a mother.
A lot of men are underemployed these days because they can't find a job. My bet is they just took the number of man-hours per sex and divided by the numbers of each sex.
Deliberately designed to mislead.
I’m glad you posted this and not me.
Those poor womyn. Maybe the womyn should get an tax credit for taking care of their kids and parents. The rich should pay their fair share /s
93% of all death on the job are men. Argument is over.
“...World ,,,”
That one word is key. 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.
What Utter Junk.
Confirmation Bias anyone?
Even their name is slanted.
Not true in my family, blood nor in-laws.
No kidding. Sick of this PC junk.
We work to death (often literally), and the feminists complain. SCREW THEM.
Total nonsense.
Actually, no, don’t screw them (who would want to? eww). Should have said they can GTH.
I see they didn’t add in men mowing the lawn, fixing a faucet, changing oil etc for “no pay”. Just horse hillary.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those stats included third world countries where the women work and the men sit on their asses. I say that because those stats do not represent Western nations.
Perhaps muslim women are throwing the statistics way off. They do all the work - plus all the fighting in war, apparently - while their men sit around all day drinking tea and raping little boys and goats.
