The first chart below shows the percentages of women and men in a country involved 
in some kinds of home tasks (cooking, cleaning, pet caring and repairing the house. 
The second chart shows the amount of time each gender spent on each task per day. 
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make 
comparisons where relevant. 
The given butterfly charts illustrate the proportion of males and females who do housework, 
and the average time both genders give to household chores. It is clear from both charts that 
cooking and cleaning are done by more women and men, and these tasks demand more time 
of both genders per day than the other two tasks, which are caring for pets and doing 
household repairs.
More females than males do cooking and cleaning. The percentage of women involved in 
these two tasks is 80% and 60% respectively, which is 20% more for each task than men. 
Almost equal percentage (20-22%) of men and women are involved in pet care. Almost 
double men (18%) than women (9%) are involved in house repairs.
As far as the average time spent on cooking and cleaning is concerned, here too women 
outstrip men by spending approximately 20 minutes more on each task per day than men. 
Both, males and females spend on an average 20 minutes per day on pet care. Women spend 
approximately 5 minutes per day, whereas men spend three times more time on house 
repairs.
Overall, apart from house repairs, in all the given household chores, women take the lead.
