The charts below show the change in ownerships of electrical appliances and amount of time spent doing housework in housholds in oun country between 1920 to 2019.

There are two line graphs. The first one represents the percentage of households with three different electrical appliances: a washing machine, refrigerator, and vacuum cleaner. Meanwhile, the second graph shows the changing amount of time spent doing

housework

in

hours

per week.

This

data is presented in twenty-year intervals between 1920 and 2019.

Overall

,

it is clear that

the usage of all types of electrical appliances increased over the

years

, with refrigerators experiencing the greatest rise in percentage throughout the period.

In contrast

, the number of

hours

spent on

housework

followed a downward trend from 1920 to 2019. In 1920, the refrigerator was the least used appliance, starting from zero per

cent

, but it increased dramatically, reaching over 90 per

cent

by 1960.

This

was followed by a gradual rise to 100 per

cent

within the next 10

years

, where it remained constant until 2019. Vacuum cleaner ownership steadily rose from 30 per

cent

in 1920 to 100 per

cent

by 2000. Meanwhile, the washing machine showed a minimal gradual increase, starting at around 40 per

cent

and rising slowly to over 70 per

cent

across the given

years

.

According to

the second graph, the amount of time people spent doing

housework

steadily decreased from 50

hours

per week in 1920 to 20

hours

in 1960, and

then

it declined slightly to approximately 10

hours

by the end of the period. In summary,

although

the use of electrical appliances increased significantly over the

years

, particularly refrigerators, which saw the most dramatic rise, the amount of

housework

decreased over the 100-year period.
