In a survey of 1,256 people agesbetween18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37 per cent of the total housework, whilethe women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70 per cent. This ratio was not affected bywhether the woman was working or not.When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt thathousework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not workoutside the home were satisfied to perform 80 per cent - the majority of the household work - if theirhusbands did the remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages,women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week,but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man'sshare increases much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actualnumber of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework asthankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doinglaundry, washing-up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by thesechores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipategoing back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing theteamwork in the marriage.(Source: https://www.facebook.com/326961327671391)
