The bar chart shows the comparative data on the average number of hours spent in housework by four groups of people.
Overall, it is clear that women without employment spent the longest time on their household chores than women with employment, but they still worked more than their male counterparts.
After a detailed analysis, it is clear that unemployed women spent seven hours per day on domestic work in both 1985 and 1995. Whereas, unemployed women decreased by 30 minutes in 1995. Part time working women demonstrated some fluctuations; the figure was 5.5 hours in 1985 and increased to 6 hours in 2005 before experienced a slight decline in 1995. Full time employed women recorded relatively similar figures, at 2 hours in 1985, 1.5 hours in 1995, and more than 2 hours in 2005. In contrast, men with full time employment spent the least time on their home chores; they spent only about 1 hour in both 1985 and 1995, and the figure increased approximately 1.5 hours in 2005.
