- According to the result of Eustat’s work on conciliation, although the number of hours men spend in domestic work is increasing, they are still far from parity: women perform care tasks for an average of 9.4 hours a day, men 5.4.
The time spent in the care of children and dependent persons and domestic work in 2016 has been quantified by gender and occupations. The survey was the methodology used.
As for housework, they say that women do two hours a day and men do 1.2. Children are cared for 4.7 hours per day by women and 3.3 hours per day by men. The greatest difference is in the care of dependent family members, given that women dedicate 2.7 hours to it, and men 1.1, less than half.
Eustat’s work also provides two other facts that hinder conciliation; in terms of length of employment, most women (58%) have a continuous working day and men account for less than half, 43%. On the other hand, almost half of the workers work more hours every day than their own and 38% do not know when they will leave, here there is almost no difference between genders.
