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.) Describe the information presented below, comparing results for men and women in the categories shown. Suggest reasons for what you see.

The bar chart illustrates the average weekly

hours

of unpaid

work

,

such

activities as childcare at home, housework, or gardening, done by people of different categories, compared with the number of kids in the

household

.

Overall

, married

women

performed notably more

work

, and the more kids were present in the

household

, the more

hours

women

worked. For

men

, the number of children didn't really affect their weekly

hours

of unpaid

work

.

Firstly

, for the childless

household

women

were seen executing 30

hours

of housework per week, whilst

men

would do scarcely 20

hours

.

Then

, when there were 1 to 2 kids present at home, the amount of

work

a woman did

increase

Wrong verb form

increased

show examples

by around 75%, totalling up to 55

hours

of free labour. Here, for

men

, the results didn't change at all.

Finally

, in a

household

with 3 children or more, a woman did nearly 60

hours

of housework, which makes it double the number of

hours

a woman did at home with no children, whilst

men

completed up to 15

hours

of

work

at best.

To sum up

, we can see that

this

data shows us a great imbalance of weekly

hours

of unpaid labour done by

men

and

women

, as

women

were seen to do significantly more

work

as the

household

grew.
