Imbalance in Household Chores Still Exists and Creates Mental Load

It’s no secret that compared to men, women do more household chores: an estimated three hours more each day, according to a global survey. Among mixed-sex couples, women will bear the brunt of the housework, including instances where both partners have full time jobs and even if the woman works longer hours. And in households that do strike a good balance, men are more likely to do more enjoyable chores, like gardening or entertaining the kids.
