The richest do not give fewer NEP hours; they draw more. In Brazil, the capable adults of every group work between 26.0 and 28.9 hours a week in the NEPs, while the burden runs from 9.1 to 418.7; in the United States, between 32.8 and 34.7, while the burden runs from 19.5 to 94.0. The richer do more of their NEP work in a paid job and less of it at home (in Brazil, the poorer half 9.2 hours paid and 16.8 unpaid; the richest 1% 18.0 paid and 10.9 unpaid), but the sum stays close. What places them below 1 is all that they draw, used at once or held.
