it is evident that, with the exception of reading,
women
spend more
time
on household chores than
men
,
while
men
spend more
time
on leisure activities. With regards to household chores,
women
spend the most
time
on cooking, at 15
hours
per

, compared to approximately 9 for
men
.
Women
also
spend more than double the amount of
time
than
men
cleaning the house, though
this
chore consumes less
time
than the other chores for both sexes. Again, washing up is predominantly a task undertaken by
women
rather than
men
, at 7 and 5
hours
respectively. Turning to leisure activities, the most popular is watching television, with slightly more
men
than
women
partaking in
this
activity on a weekly basis. Interestingly,
Men
spend nearly 3 times more
time
than
women
surfing the Internet. The
hours
spent on reading are fairly similar for males and females at around 5 per
week
. Gardening accounts for a just few
hours
per
week
for both sexes.
