The given butterfly charts illustrate the proportion of males and females who do housework, and the average time both genders give to household chores. It is clear from both charts that cooking and cleaning are done by more women and men, and these tasks demand more time of both genders per day than the other two tasks, which are caring for pets and doing household repairs.
More females than males do cooking and cleaning. The percentage of women involved in these two tasks is 80% and 60% respectively, which is 20% more for each task than men. Almost equal percentage (20-22%) of men and women are involved in pet care. Almost double men (18%) than women (9%) are involved in house repairs.
As far as the average time spent on cooking and cleaning is concerned, here too women outstrip men by spending approximately 20 minutes more on each task per day than men. Both, males and females spend on an average 20 minutes per day on pet care. Women spend approximately 5 minutes per day, whereas men spend three times more time on house repairs.
Overall, apart from house repairs, in all the given household chores, women take the lead.
