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").
