The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprising of wealthy nations. Among its other functions the OECD gathers and releases some data relevant to the men's rights movement.
OECD data on paid and unpaid work done by men and women shows that in most countries the difference in total work disappears when you add paid & unpaid work together. Moreover the OECD data does not include commute times which would drive up the total for men.
The table below was drawn from OECD data on October 2, 2020.[1]
