The given bar chart depicts how much time Australian parents allocated to help their children for four different activities in 2013.
Overall, in 2013, mothers in Australia spent most of their time on helping their children with dressing and homework, whereas Australian fathers allocated their time for playing games and preparing for bed with their offspring . Noticeably, the rates of both mothers and fathers spent time helping their children with all five activities were remarkably lower in the surveyed year.
On the one hand, in 2013, the amount of time Australian mothers allocated to help their children with dressing and homework had the most profound rates, accounting for around 75% and 60%, compared to that of fathers around 50% and 38%, respectively. Nevertheless, the figures for parents were remarkably lesser, with no more than 10%.
On the other hand, fathers spent most of their time playing games with their children as the proportion of time registered at 70%, followed by that of preparing for bed, but to a lesser extent, was 50% in 2013. By contrast, the proportions of time mothers spent on playing games and preparing for bed were exponentially smaller, only about 25% and 41%, respectively. Finally, parents had the lowest ratios of time allocated for playing games and preparing for bed.
