CAnD3 is pleased to share the latest visualization publication 鈥淭ime Use on Housework in Canada: Persistence and Patterns鈥� published by Kamila Kolpashnikova, Zilin Li, and Am茅lie Quesnel-Vall茅e, that presents daily time use on housework in Canada. The study enhances understanding of housework participation from a daily time-use perspective.聽

Drawing from the nationally representative 2015 Canadian General Social Survey, the study reveals persistent gender disparities in housework, with women consistently spending more time on household tasks across all age groups. Housework participation increases also with age, likely because older individuals have more discretionary time for household chores. Additionally, the study highlights a clear pattern of higher engagement during mealtimes, and more evenly distributed throughout the day among older adults compared to younger individuals.聽聽

These findings underscore the need for policies to address gender disparities and promote equitable housework distribution and inform discussions on evolving needs and preferences across life stages, aiding in better policy and commercial decisions targeted at different populations.聽

This visualization was featured in Kamila's Dragon's Den data visualization presentation, which she created when she was a Fellow at CAnD3. We are proud to be able to have a publication come out of our Fellow's training end of year deliverables and are looking forward to continue promoting and publishing the work that our Fellows create within the program.

Let鈥檚 read and look into our to understand the persistence and patterns of daily time use on housework in Canada.聽
