The charts show the changes in ownership of electrical appliances and amount of time spent doing housework in households in one country between 1920 and 2019.
The triple line graph exhibits the percentage of families owning electrical appliances in a random nation over the course of 99 years, from 1920 to 2019.
Overall
, ownership of three different appliances increased over the given period. At the same time, the amount of time spent on chores underwent the opposite. The number of households owning refrigerators witnessed the most significant rise, starting off at just over zero per
cent
in 1920, surging to around 90 per
cent
in 1960, and reaching 100 per
cent
in 1980 until the end of the period. Simultaneously, the rate of families with washing machines and vacuum cleaners accounted for 40 and 30 per
cent
respectively in 1920, sharing the same increasing pattern until 1960. The former experienced a small dip before minimally rising to just over 70 per
cent
,
whereas
the latter significantly rose from 70 per
cent
to 100 per
cent
in 2000. With regards to the weekly
hours
spent on housework, a steep decline can be seen in the first 60 years, from 50
hours
in 1920 to approximately 15
hours
in 1980.
Thereafter
, the amount of time doing housework remained unchanged, with a marginal drop to just over 10
hours
in the
last
14 years.
