Women still have to do the lion’s share of housework despite going ou to work in ever
increasing nubmbers. Researchers found that they spent three times as long on domestic
chores as their husbands or partners. Some female breadwinners, however, have to
shoulder the burden of all housework as almost one in five men admitted to doing
nothing at all around the home.
The advantage for women was 17 hours a week, compared to just under six hours for
men. But more than a quarter of wives and girlfriends spend more than 21 hours a week
on domestic chores. Three times exclude childcare, which is also traditionally far more likely to fall on women.
The findings come despite the best intentions of most men, who agreed that they should
share the burden by doing more housework.
Researchers said the survey results meant women would not achieve equal opportunities
at work until their menfolk contributed more to looking after the home
In the survey, 1,800 men and women were assked about everyday chores, such as the
laudry, cleaning, cooking, food shopping, looking after sick relatives and carrying out
repairs. But men only made a significant contribution by mending fauty items around the house.
At least two-thirds of women said it was usually them who carried out the other tasks,
rising to 85 per cent for doing the laundry.
