		+	For decades, India’s work culture has been a topic of debate — are we working too little or too much? Some corporate leaders believe Indians should clock in 70-hour workweeks, while others argue that productivity isn’t just about time spent at work. But what does the data say? A recent analysis by the PM’s Economic Advisory Council based on the 2019 Time Use Survey by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation sheds light on how Indians really work. The ﬁndings reveal striking patterns — Goans work the least yet lead in economic output, Gujaratis put in the longest hours, and urban India grinds harder than rural areas. So, are we working enough—or just working wrong? Mudita Girotra examines the data

The report said reduced working hours and more flexible working time arrangements, like those used during Covidcrisis, can benefit economies, enterprises and workers, and lay theground for a better and more healthy work-life balance.
		+
		+	''' Work Life Balance '''
		+
		+	The ILO study based on data collected from 160 countries —it’s the first one conducted by the Organisation that focuses on work-life balance —found that a substantial portion of global workforce are working either long or short hours when compared to a standard eight-hour day/40 hour working week. More than one-third of all workers was regularly putting in over48 hours per week, while a fifth of the global workforce was working short (part-time) hours of less than 35 per week. Informal economy workers were more likely to have long or short hours, said the report.  The report looked at two main aspects of working time: working hours and working time arrangements, and the effects of both on business performance and workers’ worklife balance. It includes a range of new statistics covering hours of work, both before and during Covid crisis.
		+
		+	The study also looked at the crisis response measures governments and businesses used during pandemic to help keep organisations functioning and workers employed. It found that increased proportion of workers on reduced hours helped to prevent job losses.
		+
		+	Long-term changes are also highlighted. “The large-scale implementation of telework nearly everywhere in the world that it was feasible to do so, changed. . . the nature of employment, most likely for foreseeable future,” as per report.
		+
		+	The Covid crisis measuresalso yielded powerful new evidence that giving workers more flexibility in how, where and when they work can be positive both for them and for business, for example by improving productivity. Conversely, restricting flexibility brings substantial costs, including increased staff turnover, as per the report.
		+
		+	“There is a substantial amount of evidence that work–life balance policies provide significant benefits to enterprises, supporting the argument that such policies are a ‘win-win’ for both employers and employees,” it says.
		+
		+	“The so-called ‘Great Resignation’ phenomenon has placed work-life balance at the forefront of social and labour market issues in post-pandemic world,” said Jon Messenger, lead author of the report. “This reportshows if we apply some of the lessons of Covid crisis and look carefully at the way working hours are structured, and their overall length, we can create a win-win, improving both business performance and work-life balance,” he said.

Often leave is utilised in recuperating from illnesses. Instead of a massage bed, 10% Indians admitted to having spent their entire holiday allowance on a sickbed. The lure of a longer vacation however is definitely strong among working Indians, as the survey also found that 54% Indians would still prefer more vacation days over a pay rise, the highest globally.
