The given bar chart and table compare how much time males and females spend on various 
household activities every day with the recreational activities in Britain.
It is noticeable that except for repair work, women do more household work than men. On 
an average, women spend about 75 minutes on cooking and washing, which is more than 
double the time spent by men on the same activity. Shopping and doing the laundry are 
other two most important activities for housewives, which take 35 and 30 minutes per day 
respectively, whereas men are unwilling to do these chores. Men spend approximately 19 
minutes per day on repair work, which is surprisingly more than double the time 
spent
by 
women on the same work.
With regard to leisure activities, both genders spend almost similar time on all the three 
given activities, with TV, video and radio being the most popular and sports taking away the 
least of the leisure time. About two hours per day are 
spent
on TV, video and radio, and 
nearly one third of an hour per day on reading. Compared to women, men spend slightly 
more time on sports.
The same graph can come with any past year given.
