Frequency of relying on external services for housework, by disability status eige_gap_hw__ggs_hw_external_dis

Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage (comparable)
Description:

This dataset shows how often in a typical week respondents rely on external services for housework. The numbers indicate what percentage (%) of all respondents have selected each frequency category.

Respondents selected one frequency category from the following list:

  • Daily
  • Several times a week
  • Several times a month
  • Less often
  • Never

This indicator is disaggregated by self-reported disability status. It is based on responses to the following question:

"Are you limited because of a health problem in activities people usually do? Would you say you are…"

  • Severely limited (i.e. usual activities cannot be done or only done with extreme difficulty)
  • Limited but not severely (i.e. usual activity can be done but only with some difficulties)
  • Not limited at all (i.e. usual activities can be done without any difficulties)
  • Prefer not to answer

For the purposes of this indicator, people are classed as having a disability if they selected one of the first two responses above ("severely limited" or "limited").

More information on the methodological aspects of EIGE’s “survey on gender gaps in unpaid care, individual and social activities (CARE)”.can be obtained in the technical report.
