Survey Usage Time Shows Indian women unfairly overwhelmed by housework

A new Bollywood movie – MR

The protagonist, married to a gynecologist, found himself trapped by an endless cycle of cooking, cleaning and care. His dreams were not overwhelmed by force, but by incessant criticism and quiet pressure.

While the film, which is a remake of the Hit of Malayalam movie The Great Indian Kitchen in IndiaStir the conversation – and pushback, especially from social media men – its themes have good data.

A recent government survey reveals that Indian women spend seven hours a day at unpaid household and care – more than double time with people. Data shows That women spend 289 minutes of unpaid household chores and 137 minutes of unpaid shipment, while men spend 88 minutes of work tasks and 75 minutes of work care.

They also spend less time than men who do paid jobs and engage in self-care activities.

What is disappointing that the last such survey goes out six years ago has the same results. Despite the launch of government campaigns in the power of women, the situation has not changed.

Indian use time (tul) tracking on how people spend their time in different activities. Curbearers signed the data across the country by asking individuals aged six to 59 how they spent the previous day. The first tus was released in 2019, with the second published last week.

When the government released those found from the second time to use the survey (tulle), it highlights two main job shifts over three percentage points.

The survey concludes that it marks “transfer from the free payment of activities” for women – a positive time they spend at home and more time in paid work.

However, economists argue that it is not necessary. Although this is, a small occupation of home work suggests women still have more than the more compensated job than men.

Ashwini Deshpande, an Ashoka University’s economic professor, says Tu’s data analysis rate in India in India in evil. FFLPR admits the percentage of women aged 15 and older in the labor force.

According to the government INFORMATIONFFFPR grows from about 23% in 2017-2018 to 37% of 2022-2023. Prof deshpande said this increase is not only because of the rising job opportunities for women, but also driven by economic unrest.

“Women are not waiting for their time spent on domestic chores to reduce to take up jobs. Research shows that women want to work to supplement household incomes and so they end up working ‘double-shifts’ and unpaid work inside,” Prof deshpande says.

Indian women are not alone in making an inexplicable part of household work and care – this is a global reality. However the time gap is spent on domestic work is larger than India.

Where in the world Women spend about 2.8 hours More than men in household work and care, for women in India, this difference is closer to four hours.

Sociologists recognize the deep social society in India, which continues to implement gender strict behavior. Even in educated elites, women remain trusted by the peles maintained and maintained not only people, but also women.

This tight enforcement of gender roles is not only molding women – it also shapes stories about them received.

So, while the GRS strikes a chord generally, it also faced sharp criticism – especially from social media men.

It is accused of a group of men’s right to “spread toxic” against traditional families, while others separate themselves.

Kajol Srinivasan, a Mumbai-based comedian, says the film running feathers because it is an uncomfortable mirror of society.

He told the BBC how his father, stopped his work at 40 to take household duties while his mother continued to work, it was easy to know that the work of home was not an easy task.

“The first week he was eager; he cooked different dishes and deeply cleansed at home,” he said.

But then he began to find the job to tirest and can’t keep ahead of a week.

“My father knows that homework isn’t just about work, it’s also a non-balance of power. No matter how good bread cooks, no accolades,” he said.

He believes women are expected and raised to receive this lower power rung.

“If the men of India talk about what they want about their wives and mothers, often do what they sacrifice for them or what they take for them or what they sacrifice to them or at home,” says Srinivasan.

Indian use time uses that social change slowly, and it can be time before women at work.

Meanwhile, movies like Mrs. Spark conversations in everyday questions that many want to be avoided – like, who makes the dish?
