Young girls do more domestic chores than boys, study finds 

The study found that inequalities in domestic chores occur at nine and are even greater at 13: girls do more housework and children tend to do 'gender-typical chores'.

Girls do more household chores than boys at both nine and 13 years of age – and new research also shows that any housework carried out by boys at those ages tends to be "gender-typical" chores.

It also found: "At an early age, girls/young women and boys/young men are developing housework patterns that mirror the problematic housework patterns seen in adulthood."
