A Roy Morgan Young Australians Survey has found that the average Australian tween aged 10 to 13 spends 37 minutes doing homework on a typical weekday and nearly an hour on weekends, for a total of four hours per week. The survey, which was carried out in the year to December 2015, also shows that tween girls spend four hours and 25 minutes on average doing homework each week, compared with three hours and 35 minutes for boys. Meanwhile, tweens with an Asian background spend a little over six hours on homework a week, while tweens in households with annual gross income of at least $A200,000 spend an average of four hours and 35 minutes per week doing homework, which is over an hour more than those in low-income homes.
