The graph below shows the number of tourists visiting a particular Carribbean island between 2010 and 2017.

The line charts illustrate how electrical appliance ownership and how much each household spent doing domestic chores changed in one nation from 1920 to 2019.

Overall

, all three appliances; refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and washing machines increased their shares in household ownership in the time period,

while

the number of weekly

hours

people spent doing housework decreased. In 1920, there were far fewer users of refrigerators at around 3% of the total households. It

then

rocketed, overtaking the other two wares in 1960, and afterwards reached 100% in 1980. In terms of vacuum cleaners, the percentage of households started at roughly 30% in 1920, followed by a steady growth to 100% in 2000.

In contrast

, most people made use of washing machines in their housework in 1920, standing at approximately 40%. After a steady rise to 70% in 1960, the figure stayed stable ranging from 65% to 75% between 1980 to 2019. When it comes to the number of

hours

per week spent doing house chores, as more houseworkers started to use electrical appliances, they significantly decreased the time from 50

hours

per week in 1920 to nearly 15

hours

in 1980. The figure

subsequently

remained at almost the same level in 2019.
