The provided bar graph illustrates the normal duration of housework that women with part-time, full-time, and without jobs did compared to men with full-time jobs in the UK from 1985 to 2005.
Overall, it is evident that the amount of time spent on housework by women with part-time, full-time, and men with full-time employment increased, except for unemployed women. While unemployed women spent the most time doing housework, men with full-time employment spent the least amount of time on it.
Regarding unemployed women, in 1985, they spent 7 hours on housework in a day. After about a decade, in 1995, they spent less time on housework, at around 6.5 hours. Then, in 2005, they spent the same amount of time doing household chores as they did in 1985.
Focusing on women with part-time and full-time employment, the amount of time that both groups spent on housework experienced a significant increase. In 1985, women with part-time and full-time employment spent around 5.5 and 2 hours per day, respectively. Then, both groups witnessed a slight decline in 1995, to 5 and 1.5 hours per day, respectively. This was followed by a significant increase in 2005, to 6 and approximately 2.8 hours per day, respectively.
When it comes to men with full-time employment, they started at 1 hour per day in 1985. This figure remained unchanged in 1995. However, in 2005, they spent more time compared to the previous years, with an increase of 0.5 hours.
