In women with a lower level of education and in men, these proportions are significantly lower.
the fears of The women are not unfounded: In more than two-thirds of the households with children, the house work is done mainly by mothers. Only about 5 percent of the fathers are mainly responsible. The remaining quarter of the parents the house work done together.
the allocation of The various tasks in Couple households are still very classic. Women clean more, cook, and organize gifts. Men are doing more administrative Work and minor repairs. On average, they come to a share of 5.8 percent, while women do 60 percent of housework.
