Abstract

This article analyzes the behavior of working hours and hourly wage, linked to the demand for qualifications, in the forms of occupational and sectoral insertion, in order to verify the implications for gender asymmetries. Analyzing hourly wage can be seen as a proxy for return to productivity. The results indicate that, throughout the 2010s, the different working hours patterns between occupational and sectoral groups are more evident than gender asymmetries. Additionally, the study indicates a tendency towards a reduction in working hours concomitant with a reduction in hourly wage.
