The bar chart compares the proportion of time spent by Australian parents helping their children with dressing, homework, playing games, and preparing for bed.
Overall, mothers spent the majority of their time helping their children with dressing and doing homework, while fathers were active in aiding their children with playing games and preparing them for bed.
Delving into specifics, the largest proportion of time spent by mothers was for engaging in dressing and completing homework assignments, with dressing taking a larger portion of time. Specifically, 70% of the time spent by mothers was for the former activity, and 60% of their time was allocated for the latter activity.
In contrast, the father was really active in playing games with their children and helping them prepare for bed. Notably, the father allocated 80% of their time for playing games, which was double that of the allocation for preparing beds.
As for the expenditure of time from both fathers and mothers. The proportion of time spent by parents on all activities wasn’t significant as being alone. Only 5% of time is allocated for each activity.
