In 2022, women worked an average of almost 30 hours per week, around nine hours more unpaid work than men. Almost half of this work by women consists of classic housework such as cooking, cleaning and washing laundry.
Overall, unpaid work consists of care work in the household, childcare and caring for relatives, but also voluntary and voluntary work and supporting people outside the household. One in four working mothers feels that their time for paid work is too limited, and one in four fathers thinks they spend too much time at work.
