The diagram below shows the average hours of unpaid work per week done by people in different categories. (Unpaid work refers to such activities as childcare in the home, housework and gardening.)

The provided diagram illustrates the mean hours per week spent on unpaid tasks by individuals from various groups.

The most striking feature is that women, regardless of their employment status, invest more time in unpaid work compared to men. Additionally, it is evident that full-time workers spend less time on these activities than their non-working counterparts.

Looking more closely at the data, it can be seen that unemployed women spend the most time on unpaid work, with an average of approximately 83 hours per week. This is followed by employed women who dedicate around 58 hours per week. In contrast, men, whether employed or not, spend significantly less time on unpaid work, with averages of 50 and 71 hours respectively.

In the case of full-time workers, women still spend more hours on unpaid work than men, with averages of 36 and 18 hours respectively. However, the gap between men and women narrows significantly for part-time workers, with averages of 40 and 37 hours respectively, showing the smallest difference across all categories.
