Which is the best title? 1 Havinga cleaner house ®Equality in the home 3 Improving your relationship Men and women all over the world have arguments about doing housework, and it’s usually the women who lose. However, a study by researchers at the University of Michigan in the US shows that the situation is slowly improving. The researchers asked 8,000 American families how much time they spent on housework each week. The researchers have asked the same 8,000 families the same questions every year since 1968. Then, each year, the researchers analyze the information. The information showed that women in the US today spend about 16 hours a week doing housework. Men, on the other hand, spend about 12 hours a week doing the same things. Although women still spend more time doing domestic jobs, the figures show that the situation has improved. in the 1970s, women spent about 26 hours a week on housework and men only seven hours a week. Researchers say that women are still doing most of the housework because people still divide domestic jobs into ‘wo areas, They see cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children as “women's work,” and general repairs, car maintenance, and work outside the home as "mer's work” So.in general, the results ofthe study bring good news for women. The difference between the amount of time men and women spend on housework is getting smaller ‘every year. This means the time will come when both sexes share domestic chores equally. However, women will have to be extremely patient because the change won't be complete anytime soon! Read the text.
