If you’re a woman who feels exhausted by the end of the day, it could be down to the amount of unpaid work you’re completing.
New statistics from ONS Digital reveal men in the UK enjoy nearly five hours extra leisure time per week compared to women.
In 2015, the average man took 43 hours of leisure time per week, whereas the average woman took around 38 hours.
While men are busy enjoying themselves, the data suggests women are losing those five hours because we’re picking up the brunt of “unpaid work”, such as household chores and childcare.
