Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given bar chart demonstrates the proportion of time spent by three categories of women such as unemployed, part-time employed and full time employed on domestic chores and full time employed male in the UK on the years of 1985,1995 and 2005

Overall, it can be seen that over the years, unemployed women have spent a considerable amount of time on housework while men with full type jobs consistently account for less time.

The jobless women devoted the same proportion of hours to domestic work for two decades from the year 1985, whereas in 1995 the figure reduced at a minimal rate. The second-largest proportion was females with part-time employees who invested approximately five to six hours in three years.

The men who had full-time jobs spent half of the time on household chores as their female counterparts. However, the hours spent by females moderately reduced while the figure of men remained unchanged in 1995. In the year 2005 women and men significantly increased for accounting time on house works which was about 1.5 and 2.5 hours respectively.
