Japanese children must help at home
and school from an early age. From the
age of fíve, they help with loading the
washing machine and
folding clothes. At
school, all students
have to clean their
classrooms at the end
of the day by sweeping
the floor, dusting the
shelves and desks and
taking out the rubbish.
lf children, even very
young children, need to
use public transpoft to
get to and from school,
then they travel alone.
Children in the USA don't have
to help at home often. A recent
study showed that they don't
do more than 30 minutes of
housework a day. The jobs that
they do most frequently include
making the bed, tidying their
room and putting clothes away.

ln Kenya, most children mustn't
leave home for school until they
have tidied their bedrooms. ln the
evenings, children help at home
at mealtimes by laying the table
and washing the dishes. They
also often have to do other jobs
such as watering the plants or
taking out the rubbish.
