One chart shows how many more hours married women spend on housework than their husbands in 5 different types of opposite-sex marriages

The chart below shows the average time spent per week on housework and caregiving duties for five different kinds of income arrangements for opposite-sex marriages. Insider added together the separate results for housework and caregiving noted in the report, so the values below may be slightly different from the exact results due to rounding.

Even when women earn the same as or more than their husbands, they often still spend more time on housework Women in husband-primary-earner marriages, where men earn over 60% of the pair's earnings, are spending roughly triple the time a week on housework and caregiving, and roughly four times what their husbands spend on these responsibilities in marriages in which the husband is the sole earner.

The 2019 results from Gallup are about heterosexual couples who are either married or live with one another. 58% said the woman was more likely to do laundry in their households compared to 13% who said the man was more likely. Half said the woman was more likely to take care of kids daily compared to 7% who said the man was more likely.

"I really think this is a lot about what social policies and support structures are in place that allow men and women to participate fully in paid work and at home," Rao said per USA Today. For women's contributions, 20% of adults and 20% of women said society values their contributions at work more than at home, while 19% of men said this. For women's contributions at home compared to at work, 31% of adults said this.
