The table and chart show the time spent at leisure and household activities in 2008

The table and the bar chart compare the amount of time men and women spend on household chores and leisure activities.

Closer inspection of the table and the bar chart shows that women spend more time on household activities than men except for repair work. But both spend an almost equal amount of time on leisure activities.

In terms of household work like cooking and washing, women spend approximately 75 minutes, which is more than an hour per day and nearly double the time that men spend on it. Washing and ironing clothes consume 30 minutes per day for women, which is roughly twofold the time that men spend on the same activity. There is almost an insignificant difference between men and women at the time that they spend on shopping. Women spend nearly 35 minutes per day shopping while men spend approximately 25 minutes on the same.

Interestingly, men spend almost 19 minutes per day on repair work, which is nearly double the time that women spend on it.

In terms of leisure activities, both of them spend nearly the same amount of time. Both spend almost 2 hours per day watching TV, video and listening to the radio. Both of them spend approximately 20 minutes per day reading books and nearly a quarter of an hour on sports. There are no huge differences, but men spend a bit more time on sports and watching TV.
