Given are two line graphs providing with the information about the number of household using devices (i. e. washing machine, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner) powered by electricity and amount of time family members spend during the week doing chores for the period of time of approximately a century, 1920 – 2019, respectively.
Overall, number of people using electrical appliances increased over the period of time, while the amount of time spent on housework saw a significant decrease.
Turning to the statistics of electrical equipment it can be clearly seen that at the beginning of the period refrigerator was the least popular device and almost none people used it, however, the trend saw a steady improvement and by 1980 it reached its peak of 100% and kept stability till the end of the period sharing top position with vacuum cleaner, which, in turns, was a little bit less popular than washing machine by 10%, 40% and 30%, respectively. In contrast washing machine was the first at the beginning, but despite the fact that it experienced a upward trend at the end of the period it became the least popular, reaching about three quarters of total number of households.
When it comes to hours spent on chores, it experienced only a downward trend during the whole period of time. It started with 50 hours spent in 1920 and then by 1960 it rapidly decreased to 20 hours. Afterwards, there was a marginal decrease to 10 hours per week in 2019, reaching its very low point.
