The bar chart illustrates the average number of hours per week spent by men and women on various activities around the home.
Overall, it is evident that women dedicate more time to household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and washing up, whereas men spend significantly more time on leisure activities like surfing the Internet and watching television.
Cooking is the most time-consuming task for women, with an average of 15 hours per week, while men spend 9 hours on this activity. Similarly, women spend much more time cleaning the house (5 hours) compared to men (2 hours). Washing up is done equally by both genders, though women still spend slightly more time. In contrast, both men and women spend the same amount of time reading (5 hours). Gardening takes up a small portion of time for both, with men spending slightly more than women.
The most notable gender difference is in time spent on the Internet, where men spend 12 hours per week compared to just 4 hours for women. Watching television also shows a gap, with men watching for 14 hours and women for 12. These figures suggest a clear gender divide in how domestic and leisure time is distributed.
