The first line chart displays percentages of electrical tools owned by families in a particular country between the period time 1920 to 2019. Meanwhile, the second graph shows the number of
hours
spent on chores in households every
week
in the same period.
Overall
, there is a visible correlation between the two charts where the more people own electrical appliances, the less housework they need to do per
week
. Electrical appliances ownership increases rapidly every year and refrigerators have the greatest growth.
First,
in 1920 nobody had a refrigerator, but the amount rose drastically starting from 1940 to the end of 2019, and every household have one. In comparison, the washing machine was the most common electronics with ownership reaching 40% of households.
This
number rose to 75% in 1960 before slightly dipping to around 65% to eventually become steady at approximately 72% and fall behind the other two appliances. The number of
hours
of chores,
in contrast
, fell halfway from 50 to 20
hours
per
week
per household in 1960. After that, it experienced only a small decrease to just over 10
hours
each
week
.
