| Men enjoy half an hour more leisure (休闲) time each day than women. a report says.The international survey found men spent more time watching television. meeting friends. playing sport or enjoying hobbies than women. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. made up of the world"s richest nations. said Britain came close behind France and America in the list of countries where women work harder than men.The report called for greater equality for women.It said governments and firms needed to do more to deal with the sex equality gap (差距). Former OECD reports have suggested the difference may be more to do with how each sex chooses to spend its time which was not taken into account (考虑到) in the new report.The OECD said shopping. having a bath. dressing. taking a nap or taking a long lunch all count as work rather than leisure.If these are taken into account.
