The diagram below shows the average hours of unpaid work per week done by people in different categories. (Unpaid work refers to such activities as childcare in the home, housework and gardening.)
The given bar chart compares the average unpaid
work
hours
a week
between married women
and men
in three
circumstances, including those without a child, with one to two children, and with three
or more kids
.
Overall
, it can be seen that married women
spent more time
than married men
engaging in unpaid work
. The more kids
they have, the more likely married women
to be involved in unpaid jobs, whereas
this
is not the case for married men
.
Regarding married women
, they spent a significantly larger amount of time
doing unpaid work
, with women
having three
and more kids
spending almost triple times that of men
in unpaid work
, accounting for 60 hours
per week
. Interestingly, women
with one to two children spent only 50 hours
a week
in unpaid work
, followed by 30 hours
per week
for women
without children. This
means that women
with three
or more kids
doubled the time
spent on unpaid work
than women
with no kids
.
In contrast
, the unpaid work
hours
for married men
were less likely to be affected by the number of kids
as they spent relatively the same amount of time
in unpaid duties either with or without kids
. They all spent around 18 to 20 hours
per week
involved in unpaid jobs.Submitted by joewingpun1992 on
