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.)
SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart illustrates data on the number of hours people spend on their unpaid work weekly, which is categorized by their gender and the number of children they have.
Overall, it is obvious that women spend more time doing housing activities rather than men. Moreover, the more children the households have, the more hours women spend on housework.
According to the chart, while non-child women spend approximately 30 hours per week, the figures for mothers with children are significantly higher. To be precise, about 50 and 60 hours spent on childcare, housework, and gardening are allocated to women who have 1-2 and above 3 children, respectively.
Meanwhile, men have a much smaller number of hours for home tasks, being halved of those of women in all three kinds of families. Besides, it is noticeable that the data shows a similar amount of 20 hours/week are spent on daily routine activities for males, regardless of the number of children they have.
