Description:

This indicator shows the distribution of household chores within a household, for women and men with cohabiting partners before and during the pandemic, disaggregated by household task.

It is based on the question:“Who in your household generally does the following tasks (Shopping for groceries; Housework chores; Financial and administrative manners; and Management and planning tasks)?” for two time periods(“nowadays” and “before the pandemic started in February/March 2020”).

Valid response were grouped into the four categories:

  • Completely or mostly my partner
  • About equal or both together
  • Completely or mostly me
  • Mainly another person
