Time Spent on Unpaid Work by Gender and Parental Status in Belgium, Finland, and the US [Figure 3.23]
This bar chart displays the average minutes per day spent on unpaid work, comparing females and males in Belgium, Finland, and the US. The data is further broken down by parental status: households with 'No children' versus those with 'Children under 5'. The chart reveals that while women consistently perform more unpaid work than men in all categories, the disparity widens dramatically with the presence of young children. For instance, in all three countries, the time women spend on unpaid work increases substantially more than men's time when there are children under 5 in the household.
