The charts below 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 given line
graph
illustrates the changes in the ownership of electrical appliances, while
the accompanying graph
gives information on how many hours
per week
households spend spent for chores over a 99-year period
in a specific country.
As can be clearly seen from the first line graph
the most significant trend is observed in the percentage
of households that used refrigerators in the most period
of the examined years
.
In particular
, zero households used refrigerators in 1920, whereas
over the years
the figure increased suddenly until its stability at 100%. At the same time, the second most popular appliances were washing machines and vacuum cleaners. At the beginning of the examined period
, the aforementioned trends were represented equally with the former reaching 40% of individuals' use, whereas
the latter stood at 30%. In the next years
, the washing machines' trend underwent some variations until the end of the overall
period
, whilst the vacuum cleaner percentage
surged until it levelled off at the same percentage
as the percentage
of the refrigerator in 2019. According to
the second graph
, the most noticeable feature is that in 1920 the population tends to be occupied with housework frequently during the week
. To exemplify, 50 hours
per week
are spent in each household washing clothes, preparing meals, or cleaning. The number of hours
per week
experienced a downward trend for the next 40 years
and then
it reached the result that 20 per week
spent on chores. Despite being stabilized for the following 59 years
, the minority point was observed in 2019, when people wasted only 10 hours
per week
cleaning their houses.
Overall
, the provided data indicates that the ownership of electrical appliances and the time allocated to household chores were inversely proportional.Submitted by mariamelanaki on
