The bar chart below shows the average hours of housework done by women 
(unemployed, part time employed and full time employed) and full-time working 
men. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and 
make comparisons where relevant. 
The given column graph illustrates the average time spent by men and women at different 
levels of employment on household chores over a period of two decades. It can be clearly 
seen that full time employed men spent the least amount of time on housework. 
Women with no employment spent the maximum time on housework in the three given 
years. They spent 7 hours per day in 1985 and 2005 and 6.5 hours a day in 1995. A little less 
time was spent by part time employed women. They spent 5.5, 5 and 6 hours per day on 
household chores in 1985, 1995 and 2005 respectively. Women with full time employment 
spent lesser time on domestic work than the other two categories of women. They spent 2 
hours per day in 1985; 1.5 hours per day in 1995 and 2.5 hours/day in 2005. Full time 
employed men spent one hour per day in 1985 and 1995 and 1.5 hours per day in 2005. No 
data is given for the unemployed men and men with part time employment. 
Overall, it can be seen that full time employed women spent lesser time in household chores 
than unemployed and part-time employed women, but still they worked more than their 
male counterparts.
