You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 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. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first graph displays the percentages of

households

in one country that owned electrical appliances between 1920 and 2019,

while

the second graph illustrates how much

time

the average household in that country spent doing housework every week during the same period.

Overall

,

ownership

of all three appliances increased during

this

period, with that of refrigerators having the greatest growth. At the same

time

, the amount of

time

spent on housework decreased. Washing machines were the most common of the three electrical appliances in 1920, with

ownership

reaching 40% of

households

.

This

number

then

had risen to about 75% by 2019, with a small dip in 1980. Nearly a third of

households

owned vacuum cleaners in 1920.

Although

ownership

climbed steadily, it did not reach 100% until 2000. In comparison, almost no

households

had a refrigerator in 1920.

However

,

ownership

increased rapidly and by 1980 there was one in every household. The amount of

time

spent doing housework,

in contrast

, first fell significantly from 50 to 15 hours per week per household between 1920 and 1980. After that, it experienced only a small drop to just over 10 hours a week in 2019.
