The story  

Men in the UK are working fewer hours, while women are working more.

Since the pandemic the average number of hours worked in the UK has dropped, especially in men.

At the same time, the number of women working full time has increased, possibly due to more flexible working.

Some experts believe the overall drop in working hours may be bad for the economy.
