India has the highest working hours, says NSSO report
NSSO's first periodic labour force survey showed that on an average Indians devote longest hours at work as compared globally. The survey showed that women in rural areas were underemployed as they worked for less than 36 hours. Whereas workers in cities worked around 53-54 hours & those in villages worked around 46-47 hours in a week. It's the 1st official estimate of working hours done by a statistical agency in India.
