<strong>Special</strong> EUROBAROMETER 273 “European Social Reality” Report<br />
This <strong>social</strong> reality that household chores are still primarily carried out by women is<br />
found to exist in all Member States, although in Sweden, Denmark and Finland the<br />
division of labour appears to be slightly more in balance. In Sweden, Denmark and<br />
Finland, the female respondents least frequently indicate that they are responsible<br />
for the household chores. In fact, in these countries respondents – male and female<br />
alike – most frequently indicate that they both are responsible for cleaning the<br />
house, cooking and doing the ironing.<br />
