The article describes the distribution of total hours worked in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries during the postwar period. It investigates what policy or institutional differences can help explain the different evolutions in hours worked across countries. It explores what individuals in some countries do with their time if they work less in the market. It notes a negative relationship between hours and taxes by means of statistical analysis. It explains the relationship among market work, home work and taxes.
