In theSocial and Economic Trendssection, the OTM describes long-term labor market shifts:
“Across advanced economies,working hours per capita have declined steadily, primarily because ofrising part-time and flexible employment, aging demographics, and increased participation in education.”
The manual references OECD labor data showing this trend correlates with service-sector growth and work–life balance policies. Remote working, though prevalent post-2020, has not reversed the multi-decade decline.
Therefore,option A—decrease due to increased part-time employment—is accurate and directly supported by empirical and contextual explanations from the ESG social dimension.
