53% of women 'do chores in evening'

More than half of British women do not finish their domestic chores until 10.30pm, a new survey found.

Researchers found that 53% of women do not finish cooking, cleaning and washing clothes until late in the evening.

Most do not even start doing their daily jobs around the home until 8.30pm.

The survey, conducted on 1,080 women by laundry products company Dr Beckmann, found that women in Newcastle spend an average of 3.2 hours completing household tasks every day while those in London spend just 1.3 hours on domestic duties.

Company spokesman Steven Simpson said: "According to our survey, a 21st century woman's work really is never done.

"Women in the UK are constantly on the go, maybe more busy once they have left the workplace.

"While the men of the house find it easy to relax once the evening family meal is out of the way, and the children can choose to watch TV or go out to play with their friends once they have completed their homework, the average woman of the house has another two or three hours of domestic duties to perform - such as the washing, vacuuming and general tidying up.

"With the numbers of women holding down nine to five jobs increasing every decade they have less and less extra-curricular time to complete household tasks and, despite the fact that men are doing more around the house than previously, the majority of domestic duties are still completed by women."

As i work shifts in a pub as well as a full time job, working 50 hrs pw, that kind of screws up their findings really though they are only looking at those that have just one job.

On the other hand is that 90 mins per day or per week? Also instead of wasting money doing pointless surveys, couldnt they have spent the money on making their products cheaper

Sorry im sure this has been done in jest but was up at 4am so woosh im afraid

A survey conducted over 1,080 women is hardly conclusive. The report mentions Newcastle and London specifically, so even if you split the survey between those two cities that accounts for 540 women surveyed in each location which is by no means indicative of the general populus, but this survey was conducted nationwide so there must have been women from all over the UK who took part reducing the city by city census figures even further.

I've just read this out to Siren and she said, "What chores does a woman do for three hours, if she's doing it every night?"

I'll take this report with a pinch of salt, as we don't want to make martyrs of them now do we chaps.
