Spanish women do three times as much housework

According to a recent study undertaken by the Saving Banks Foundation (FUNCAS), Spanish and Italian men do less housework than other European people, specially countries like Sweden, Norway and UK where the household share out between the sexes.

The report called 'Spanish family life: Analysis and Reflections from a Sociological and Economic Perspective', indicates that, on average, Spanish women spend more than four and half hours each day cooking and cleaning, more than three times as much as their menfolk.


This article, as you could see, talks about the housework. Nowadays, this topic is so important; a few years ago, it was only the women who did the housework and the men who went to work outside. In these moments, as women as men work outside and for this reason, they must share out their hosuework.

Personally, I think that is unbelievable that in Spain, a developed country, the women do more than three times as much as their men folk. Also, Spain is not the only developed country where the women do more housework, there are more countries that this happen; times has changed and every sex have to contribute with the housework.
