“If a machine wears out in half the present normal time ... a new machine has to be made to replace it ... but if a manwears out in half the time, the world is poorer, and that needs no demonstration.”
The ten territories where men spendthe fewest hours everyday doing paidwork are all in the Middle East.However regions other than theMiddle East are where the averageman spends least time doing paidwork. In Eastern Europe, WesternEurope and North America theaverage man spends 4 hours and 30minutes doing paid work. This isalmost half of the time spent workingby the average man in Central Africa.In Central Africa the average mandoes paid work for 8 hours and 6minutes everyday.
Taking averages means that thosemen who cannot and do not work,are included with those who workconsiderably longer than the average.
• Data are from the United Nations DevelopmentProgramme’s Human Development Report, 2004.
