TASK 1 (BAR CHART): DOMESTIC RESPONSIBILITY DISTRIBUTION

The bar chart shows the division of household tasks by gender in Great Britain.

Sample answer

The provided bar chart displays the distribution of domestic responsibilities, classified by gender in Great Britain.

Overall, females significantly outnumber their male counterparts in cooking and cleaning, and the former also spends significantly more time on these mentioned domestic responsibilities. By contrast, pet care is divided roughly equally between two genders both in terms of proportion and dedicated time, while household maintenance is overwhelmingly in favour of males, who also spend more time in this regard.

Regarding participation, females dominate in tasks such as cooking and housekeeping, with respective figures standing at around 85% and over 60%. These numbers are approximately 20% higher than those for males, at 60% and 40%, respectively. Pet care is the only aspect that registers comparable proportions of roughly 20% for both sexes. Home repairs, by contrast, are where males excel, with nearly 20% of all men surveyed assuming this responsibility, roughly double the figure for females, at less than 10%.

Turning to average duration, a similar pattern is evident, as females contribute more time to cooking and cleaning, reporting around 85 and 57 minutes, respectively, far overshadowing time devoted to the remaining home responsibilities. These vastly outnumber the figures for males by around 20 minutes, leaving the average time that men commit to these tasks at approximately 50 and 45 minutes, in turn. Meanwhile, pet care receives similar attention of 20 minutes by both genders, whereas house repairs remain the domain of men, who dedicate nearly 20 minutes, compared to less than 10 minutes for women.

In summary, the data shows a correlation between proportional distribution and dedicated duration, categorised by gender.
