Having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework each week for women.But for men，the picture is very different.The findings are part of a detailed study of housework trends，based on 2019 time diary data，conducted since 1968 at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. It’s a well-known pattern.There’s still a significant reallocation (重新分配) of labor that occurs at marriage—men tend to work more outside home，while women take on more of the household labor.Certainly there’re all kinds of individual differences here，but in general，this is what happens after marriage.And the situation gets worse for women when they have children.

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 2019.Men did about 6 hours of housework a week in 1976，compared with about 13 hours in 2019.

But when the researchers looked at just the last 10 years，comparing how much housework single men and women in their 20s did in 2019 with how much they did in 2019 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.

A Full-Time School Called Life

You are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the

opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
