University of Michigan study concludes that having a husband creates an extra seven hours a week of housework for women. For men, it's the opposite - a wife saves her husband about an hour of housework a week, the study says.

In 1976, U.S. women did an average of 26 hours of housework a week, compared to 17 hours in 2005. Men did about six hours of housework a week in 1976, compared with about 13 hours in 2005.

The seven extra hours of work emerged by comparing the amount of housework done by single women to that of married women.

  • considering that married women also tend to have (more) children than most single women, i hope they adjusted the numbers to create an equal playing field.
