This lecture presents trends in hours worked in Europe and the US over the past four decades. It stresses the importance of the intensive margin of labor supply, i.e. hours worked per employed person, for the development of aggregate hours. Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln discusses the different driving forces that shape hours worked, and what these driving forces predict for the future of hours worked.
