According to a survey conducted by the Center for Demographic Studies in Barcelona, household chores and childcare are considered exclusively "women's tasks" in Greece, Italy, and Romania**, compared to other European countries. Researchers interviewed 74,630 individuals, couples with children under 18, from 15 European countries, including Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Serbia, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Hungary.
The survey results show that the time women spend on household chores is significantly higher in all countries, even in Nordic countries like Finland and Norway. However, Italy, Greece, and Romania top the list when it comes to dividing household responsibilities between genders. For example, in Greece, career women who earn more money than their husbands end up cooking, doing dishes, and handling other household tasks. On average, a mother in Greece spends 4.7 hours per day cooking, cleaning, washing, walking the dog, and managing the family's schedule, while the father spends only a fifth of that time on these tasks. Similar results were found in Italy and Romania.
