The line charts provide information about the

of households owning a washing machine, refrigerator and vacuum cleaner and the

number

of

hours

spent doing household

chores

per week in one country from 1920 to 2019.

Overall

, the

of households with a refrigerator and vacuum cleaner was the highest by the end of the period

while

declined dramatically by the end of the year. From 1920 to 1980, the

seen with the ownership of refrigerators. There was a 90% increase in the

percentage

chores

was 50

hours

and

this

figure declined by 30

hours

in 1960.
