Answer:
Six groups of household tasks divided by gender in Great Britain are shown on the bar graph. These specific groups are cooking, banking, washing; cleaning, house tidying; gardening, pet care; care of own children and play; maintenance odd jobs; and clothes, washing ironing, sewing. The units of measurement are minutes per person on a daily basis.
Overall, the amount of time that females spend on doing household tasks was significantly higher than of males, around 232 compared to 140 minutes per day. However, there were two groups of tasks showing the different trend, which are gardening/pet care and maintenance odd jobs.
For cooking/baking/washing up, women spent a daily of 74 minutes, which was significantly higher than 30 minutes per day of men. Having the same patterns, the amount of time that females spent on caring their children were barely double of males, about 45 and 20 minutes per day There also was a difference of about 4.5 times between women and men in cleaning/house tidying, 58 minutes compared to just 13 minutes per day. Each day, women gave 25 minutes to wash clothes, iron and sew, but men only spent 2 minutes on these tasks. In contrast, males showed their dominance in terms of gardening /pet care and maintenance odd jobs, spending about 49.5 and 26 minutes on a daily basis. For females, they spent just 21 and 9.5 minutes respectively for these activities each day.
