The presented graph describes data about the frequency of
time
Australian mothers and
fathers
spent helping their children with four activities,
such
as dressing, doing their homework, playing games, and preparing for bed. The data was observed in 2013. From the data above, it can be clearly seen that mothers generally had a bigger contribution compared to
fathers
. The biggest gap in the contribution was observed specifically in helping kids get dressed.
Furthermore
, it was noticed that the only
time
mothers had a similar contribution to
fathers
was on playing games with their children, contributing nearly three-quarters of the
time
. Upon detailed observation, it was noticed that even though
fathers
spent quite a lot of
time
helping their kids do their homework, the amount of
time
spent was not even a quarter of the mothers’. Another worth noting aspect is the
time
spent by
fathers
helping their kids was never more than 10%, with the lowest one at nearly 1%.
