Most third world countries don't have people living by themselves.
Even people in the US live 2.6 to a household. By comparison, the people of Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Cambodia live north of 4.5 to a household.
Given that agriculture makes up a much larger percentage of these economies, it's a safe bet that they're working a lot more than 40 hours a week too.
