A Global Look at How People Spend Their TimeA Global Look at How People Spend Their Time

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, but we don’t spend them the same way. Some prioritize family time or household chores, while others cherish a good night’s sleep or seeing friends.

This chart from Our World in Data compares the average time allocated across various day-to-day activities, from paid work to leisurely activities.

The data for the 33 countries profiled come from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Time Use database, for ages 15 through 64 years old.

2 hours a day of zapping 0.5 hours a day of meme creation

Daaaamn your mouse is clicking so slow or are you zapping from light-years distance? Making a meme is faster than a zap... something doesn't add up. Or your zaps need Christine Lagarde approval?

does this mean the average italian works for less than 2.5 hours each day?

seems low

reply

The absolute numbers seem low, but Italy being towards the bottom doesn't really surprise me. Not having a dig at them, I know lots of Italians and this is what they have told me lol (although they're keen to make a distinction between the industrious north and the lax south).

The scars of Risorgimento / unification run pretty deep as well.

I think it's an annual average, which means it includes holidays and weekends. Maybe it also includes taxes. I don't have much time right now to check how it was calculated, but I'll take a closer look later. Thanks for bringing this up, it's a good point.

Keep in mind that this chart shows the average for all people in the working age bracket, from 15 to 64 years, whether or not they are employed.

I'm not sure how it is in other countries, but in many European countries you can't work under the age of 18 because it's compulsory to be in school. I would also add that in richer countries, people have the financial means to work less and enjoy more vacation days.

They surely sleep in good 8 hrs. In my country you sleep 8 hrs a day, youre in a rich family.
