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.
