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 to 2019.
The line charts illustrate how much time is spent on housework in a single household and the alterations in the number of households owning vacuum cleaners, refrigerators and washing machines in the span of 99 years.
Overall
, as the years progress and more families gain access to gadgets that help them around the house, the amount of time required to finish said chores declines steadily.
In the year 1920, refrigerators could not be found anywhere yet after just 20 years more than half of the population had access to it, and this
increase in ownership although
more moderate than before, still continued until the year 2000, when every house had at least one at their disposal.
The rise of washing machines and vacuum cleaners started with the same intensity and this
continued until 1940. Afterwards
vacuum cleaners saw a steady climb until 2000 when almost every household had one but the population owning washing machines saw more fluctuation as it actually saw a decrease in 1980 and even until the year 2019 only 80 per cent of households have access to it.Add a comma
