* Even in dual-career families mothers tend to have primary responsibility for child care, whereas the tasks that men engage in tend to be sporadic and variable such as repairing appliances or mowing the lawn.
*84% of women spent time on household activities compared to 67% of men. With regards to cleaning and laundry, the breakdown is 20% men compared to 49% women. When comparing men to women on food preparation and cleanup, the numbers are 41% (men) to 68% (women). Women also spend more time (1 hour 20 minutes) in child-care activities than men (just under 1 hour).
