The first chart below shows the percentages of women and men in a country involved in some kinds (cooking, cleaning, pet caring and repairing the house). The second chart show the amount of time each gender spent on each task per day.
The charts illustrate the distribution of different household chores that males and females usually do and how much
time
they spend on separate tasks every day.
It is clear that
most women take responsibility for cooking and cleaning the house and they spend most of their
time
during the day doing those. Meanwhile, men are more concerned about house repairs.
Besides
, pet care takes up the same percentage of
time
for both 2 genders. As can be seen, the wives are in charge of most cooking activities with over 80% of all, compared to 60% of the husbands.
By contrast
, men are more likely to do house repairs
instead
of women, which stands at nearly one-fifth.
Likewise
, cleaning is usually done by female counterparts as they comprise 60%,
while
the figure for that finished by their partners was 40%. Both genders
also
share the same portion of pet care, it accounts for approximately 20%. Regarding the average
time
they use for housework, wives spend 80% of their
time
on cooking and under 70% on cleaning,
whereas
the proportion of those done by their spouses takes 60% and over 40% of the
time
respectively. The amount of
time
spent on pet care by both males and females is 20%.
Moreover
,
whereas
women show less interest in repairing household items as they spend only a small fraction, men make up 20%.
