Abstract

El tiempo de trabajo efectivo, según la EPA, ha descendido de forma notable tras la pandemia. Este estudio focaliza la atención en el cambio metodológico introducido en esta encuesta a partir de 2021 y que afecta a la medida del tiempo no trabajado. En la nueva EPA se pregunta directamente por el tiempo no trabajado debido a las vacaciones o enfermedad y, por extensión, genera una caída de la jornada efectiva de trabajo. La comparación de la nueva EPA con la ETCL revela que los niveles de horas no trabajadas por vacaciones y enfermedad ahora resultan más plausibles. Esta conclusión se refuerza al observar que, hasta 2020, la jornada efectiva anual de los asalariados a tiempo completo siempre superaba el máximo legal, un escenario difícil de creer.
