In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estimated their share vĩ đại be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labour, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home page were satisfied vĩ đại perform 80% - the majority of the household work - if their husbands did remainder.
