Study: Men are lazy to their core

Adding it all up — both paid work and unpaid housework, including childcare — the average man’s work week was three hours longer than his partner’s before birth, but after parenthood he worked 8.5 hours less than his partner.

This is particularly interesting, given that this is a socio-economic cohort — wealthy and educated — that generally says equality of household labour is important in a relationship.

The division of labour between modern parents

Notice that mothers spent about 30 hours per week on housework in the 1960s. The engines of liberation were smaller families and the availability of a large number of labour saving household white goods, and preprepared and takeaway food.
