Help me with some research: I need a list of work-weeks (and weekend-days) by country for all 200 countries. See details.

Most countries have weekends on Saturday and Sunday. But some (like Israel) have weekends on Friday and Saturday, and yet some other countries are different. I need a list of every country with a non-standard work week and the corresponding weekend days.

A good starting point would be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workweek, but this isn't enough: I need you to go to an actual encyclopedia, or CIA World Factbook, or whatever source works, and get the exact answer.

$30 goes to the person who first submits an answer matching the following criteria:
* Answers the question (list in form of: "Israel: Friday, Saturday. Mongolia: Wednesday, Thursday...etc")
* Clearly cites where information came from (links to web pages rather than sites; screenshots if information is located somewhere off the public web). Please note that I need actual "resource" sources, not wikipedia/blogs.
* Is in proper English.

Thanks in advance :).

I made a typing mistake 1)Afghanistan not Algeria
and

Following countries has Friday and Saturday as week-ends
Bangladesh, Maldives and Egypt

Following countries has Friday as week-end
Afghanistan, Algeria,Bahrain, Iran,Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Mauritania, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates and Yemen

In Israel
Offices Sunday to Thursday 8a.m. to 4p.m.,Friday 8a.m. to 1p.m.
Retail :Sunday to Thursday 9a.m. to 8p.m,Friday 10p.m. to 3p.m.
Banks --Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 8:30a.m. to 12:30p.m., and 4p.m. to 5:30p.m.,Wednesday 8:30a.m. to 12:30p.m.,Friday 8:30a.m. to noon.
Government --Sunday to Thursday 7:30a.m. to 4p.m.
So mainly weekends are Saturday-- Full day and Friday -- half a day

Rest of the countries have Saturday and Sunday as weekend
Hope it helps

Karj,

Thank you, but unfortunately you're not the first, and the first comment is sufficient. If you can find a source other than tradeport, however, and do the work based on that (in the way that the others formatted it), and do it first, I'd be happy to select your answer.

April 02, 2009 03:06 PM - Fact Refuted
Thank you. I only needed the non-standard countries but this works as well. My one problem is TradePort - it lists Israel as Friday/Saturday/Sunday and Sunday is a workday in Israel. This is inaccurate. If you can find an alternate source and verify, I will accept this answer.

Many people have sourced tradeport for their information and unfortunately that isn't an academic source (it's about page is even missing).

I did an extensive library/web/private database search on my own and then with a professional researcher at a local college, but was unable to turn up a compiled list. The researcher suggests that a compilation has not been made in the academic field, though you might be able to find the information in individual country profiles across different sources.

It's a very interesting question, especially because statistics focus on work week differences in terms of hours. I'm going to ask a couple sociology and geography professors at the local college. If you give me a little time, I should be able to pop up with some kind of definitive answer later today.

After speaking with the professors, I have two academic sources. They don't have compiled lists, but they do have the answers buried within them. If someone wants to pull the citations out of them and claim the cash, that's cool; I just don't have the time myself. =(

http://www.oecd.org > statistics > search "working hours"
http://www.oecd.org > from a-z > Indicators Economic Health
http://www.ec.europa.eu/eurostat > Living Conditions/Welfare
http://www.ec.europa.eu/eurostat > Country Profiles > Economy and Finance
http://www.ec.europa.eu/eurostat > Country Profiles > Labour Market

Also try contacting one of the following:
