Taking the Pulse of the Nation (TTPN) surveys the Australian population to capture their sentiments and behaviours related to current economic and social issues. The March 2024 survey reveals that, while the total hours of unpaid domestic work has decreased since March 2023 for parents of dependent children, women -and mothers in particular – continue to undertake disproportionately more household work. Such activities include grocery shopping, food preparation, laundry, grounds care and gardening, home and vehicle maintenance, caring for children, caring for adults, and paying bills. Although the gender gap in part reflects differences in employment status – and, thus, could reflect a conscious decision to specialise within couples – women are more often dissatisfied with the division of household tasks than men.
