Task 1
Part A
Observations about the data in Table 3 Divisions of household tasks by sex in Great Britain, 2002 in chapter 4 of Understanding Health module book. • Men don 't tend to do the laundry as 5 per cent state they usually do it and 3 per cent say they always do it. • Women tend to leave small repair jobs around the home to the men with 65 per cent of women saying their partner or spouse usually or always did them. • Women are inclined to look after sick family members, 62 per cent of women answered that they always or usually did this. • Shopping for groceries are done equally or both together with 48 percent of men and 44 per cent of women responding to this question. • Men generally do not do the housework as only 7 per cent of men reported they always or usually do it. • Women prepare more of the meals, with a 62 per cent answering it was always or usually them that did this.
Limitations of the data • The study does not reveal if any dependents live at home as this would result in either partner being at home more of the time. • The study does not show if any of the couples that answered were in a civil partnership which would mean the results being unfair. • The study doesn 't tell us the employment status for the couples,if one had a job and the other didn 't then it is more likely the unemployed partner would do more of the household tasks. • There is no age range in the survey, in the past it was less acceptable for the man to help with domestic jobs whereas the younger generation are more likely to share the chores.
