Do you like domestic chores? A research company in Michigan reported that Japanese men spend 4 hours per week for housekeeping. This is about 1/4 of what men in the US do, and 1/6 of men in Sweden. Although I thought the Japanese average would be higher, I expect that the reason it isn't is that Japanese men are away at work longer, and therefore have less time to spend for housekeeping. But the survey was taken before the current economic slump, so maybe Japanese men really will be able to spend more time at home on housework in the future.
Another interesting point from the research is that Japanese spend more time for leisure! Especially Japanese women -- whose TV hours are far longer than anywhere else. Hmmm, that could be me... it's so addictive!
What do you spend most of your time doing?
