The charts below show the number of working hours per week, in industrial sector, in 
four European countries in 2002. Summarize the information by selecting and 
reporting the main features and make comparisons with relevant. 
The given column graphs compare the number of hours spent on work per week by 
industrial workers in France, Denmark, Sweden and the UK in 2002. In three countries, it can 
be seen that the maximum workers worked 36-40 hours, but in France the maximum 
workers worked 31-35 hours per week.
In France, approximately half the workers worked for 31-35 hours per week. The percentage 
of people who worked for 36-40 hours and 46-50 hours was 35% and 20% respectively. The 
figures for the rest of the working hours accounted for around 10% workers each.
Denmark and Sweden witnessed the highest proportion of people working for 36-40 hours, 
which was quite different from that of France. The second and the third place came from 31-
35 hours and 41-45 hours workers (25% and 10% in Denmark; 35% and 30% in Sweden). The 
proportion of people working for the remaining hours was higher in Denmark than in 
Sweden. 
It is interesting to note that in the UK, the percentage of people working 50+ hours was the 
maximum. Almost 50% worked 36-40 hours per week.
Overall, France was a country where the people worked for the least hours, where as the 
Swedish people spent the most time on work among the people from four different 
countries.
