A national study reveals that Australian men are not contributing more to housework than they did 20 years ago. The 2022 Hilda report shows that men's housework hours remained at an average of 12.8 weekly, while women spend an average of 18.4 hours. This lack of change occurs amidst rising financial inequalities and increased childcare costs. Men are working more hours than before but still express greater satisfaction with household responsibilities compared to women, who bear a heavier burden of both household and caregiving duties.
"In its 19th iteration, the Hilda report shows Australian men are not doing any more housework than 20 years ago, while women handle exponentially more."
"The 2022 data indicates that men averaged 12.8 hours of housework weekly, unchanged since 2002, compared to women's 18.4 hours."
