Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graphs indicate the percentage of households with washing machines,
refrigerators
, and
vacuum
cleaners
and the
number
of
hours
of
housework
per household between 1920 and 2019. The
overall
trends show the percentage of electrical appliances was increasing over time,
while
the
number
of time spent on
housework
was declining. In 1920, not even half of the population owned electrical appliances,
such
as washing machines,
refrigerators
and
vacuum
cleaners
. Only 40% of the households had a washing machine in 1920, whilst the percentage of households who owned
refrigerators
and
vacuum
cleaners
was smaller with only 30% and 1% respectively.

increasing, albeit a smaller rise, with only a 35% increase.
Consequently

per household was dropping significantly. In 1920, people spent 50

doing their

, like washing clothes, preparing meals, and cleaning.
However
, that

dropped to only 10

in 2019. All-in-all, there was a negative correlation between the ratio of family with electrical appliances and the amount of

per

between 1920-2019. The ratio of electrical appliance ownership kept rising,
while
the
hours
spent doing

kept declining.
