The way which people of a country used three household electrical appliances and how it had its impact in the time they spent doing housework per week between 1920 and 2019 are portrayed in the given line graphs.
Overall, it is clear that the popularity of these appliances and the duration of time a household spent a week at housework were inversely proportional during the given time period.
As per the first chart, in 1920, washing machine was the most popular gadget among the households. When around two-fifth of the country’s population tried it, the rate of those who used a refrigerator was 10 less. Only a negligible proportion used a vacuum cleaner in the given year. Since then there was a hike in the use of all three gadgets. By 1980, 100% of the country’s households had a refrigerator, whereas it took another 20 years for vacuum cleaner to reach this target. However, the rate of those who used a washing machine had not crossed 65 even by 2019.
Turning to the duration of housework by an average household per week, a sharp decline can be seen between the years. From about 50 hours a week, this declined by one-fifth in 2019.
