Read the passage and choose the best answer.
 A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households, 
despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between18 and 65, 
men said they contributed an average of 37 per cent of the total housework, while the women estimated their 
share to be nearly double that, at 70 per cent. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working 
or not.
 When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework 
should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home were 
satisfied to perform 80 per cent - the majority of the household work - if their husbands did the remainder. 
Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, 
and feel they are unimportant.
 After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for 
men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man's share increases 
much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which 
leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities 
included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing-up and childcare. Women 
who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In 
contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress 
for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
