Such a chore: Men and women differ widely over who does bulk of work

The Central Statistics Office has published a Snapshot of Results from the ‘Life at Home’ CSO Pulse Survey, which includes insights into the division of household tasks between couples.

When it comes to chore sharing, Irish men and women have wildly contrasting perceptions of who does what in the household, according to a major survey.

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) surveyed almost 10,500 Irish people in May and June this year on a range of issues relating to everyday life, with two-thirds of women who live with a male partner feeling they took charge of the household tasks.
