Overall,the amount of housework done by the U.S.women has dropped considerably since 1976,while the amount of housework done by men has increased.In 1976,women did an average of 26 hours of housework a week,compared with about 17 hours in 2005.Men did about 6 hours of housework a week in 1976,compared with about 13 hours in 2005.
But when the researchers looked at just the last 10 years,comparing how much housework single men and women in their 20s did in 1996 with how much they did in 2005 if they stayed single versus (对于) if they got married,they found a slightly different pattern.Both the men and the women who got married did more housework than those who stayed single.Marriage is no longer a man’s path to less housework.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework— about 12 hours a week on average,while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most—about 21 hours a week.Men showed a somewhat different pattern.Older men did more housework than younger men,but single men did more in all age groups than married men.In addition,the number of children also works.
