The line graphs show the changes in the percentage of households in one country that used washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and refrigerators from 1919 to 2020, and the corresponding changes in the amount of time spent on household chores. In 1920, around 40% of families had washing machines and 30% had vacuum cleaners, while almost no households had refrigerators. By 2019, nearly all households had refrigerators and vacuum cleaners, and washing machine ownership remained close to 70%. As machine ownership increased over this century, time spent on housework decreased from an average of 50 hours per week in 1920 to just 10 hours in 2019.

40% and 30 % respectively while the advent of refrigerator was almost zero. Over
the next 40 years, the usage of all 3 types of machines experienced a considerable
rise to 70% for both washing machine and vacuum cleaner, and 90% for fridge. By
2019 the percentage of residents using refrigerator and vacuum cleaners had gone
up to 100% while the figure for washing machine almost remained unchanged.
Regarding time allocated on housework, 50 hours was put on this work per week
initially, which then gradually decreased to 20 hours in 1960. By 2019, the time
amount was only 10 hours per week on domestic chores.
