The chart below depicts the transformations in ownership of electrical

appliances

and the allocation of time for

household

chores in a specific country over a period of nearly a century, from 1920 to 2019. The chart consists of two line graphs, illustrating the profound changes in

household

technology and domestic responsibilities during the past century. The first graph reveals a significant surge in the ownership of electrical

appliances

, including washing machines, refrigerators, and vacuum cleaners. In 1920, less than 1% of households possessed these

appliances

.

However

, by the end of the century, over 90% of households owned these

appliances

, with refrigerators experiencing the most dramatic increase, reaching 90% by 1960 and nearly 100% in subsequent years.

In contrast

, the second graph showcases a remarkable decline in the average time spent on

household

chores per week, plummeting from approximately 50 hours in 1920 to just above 10 hours in 2019.
