Band 6+: The bar chart below shows the average duration of housework women did (unemployed, part-time employed and full-time) when compared to men who had full-time work in the UK between 1985 and 2005. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The chart illustrates the average hours of doing chores of both genders segregated by their job status across 2 decades in Britain.

Overall, it was evident that unemployed women played a pivotal role in housework as they dominated the category throughout the years and men with a full-time job contributed the least. The hours of doing housework increased slightly for women with career, either in a part-time or full-time mode, and men but remained the same for jobless women over the course of 20 years.

British female with no job commitment tended to spend at least 7 hours on chores in 1985 and 2005, despite a negligible dip to 6.5 hours in 1995. Those who shoulder a part-time occupation was the second most contributor as they allocated around 5 hours in 1985 and 1995 and eventually rose to 6 hours in 2005. Their full-time counterpart merely took up half of their time, from 2 hours in 1985, followed by a drop to 1.5 after 10 years and surged to 2.5 hours in 2005.

Working under full-time employment, men tended to do significantly less chores than the opposite sex, with only an hour in the first ten years and marginally increased to 1.5 hours at the end of time surveyed.
