Men and Women Work the Same Amount

Men and Women Work the Same Amount

This results of this international study reported in Slate--namely, that men and women work the same number of hours per day--did not surprise me nearly as much as the off-handed remark that men spend most of their leisure time watching television. Guys! That's pathetic. Also interesting is that women work less in rich countries than poor countries.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
