japan.internet.com recently reported on a survey by Rakuten Research into older men’s awareness of housework.
Demographics
Over the 16th and 17th of May 2013 400 male members of Rakuten Research aged between 50 and 69 years old completed a private internet-based questionnaire. Exactly 25.0% were in each age band 50 to 54, 55 to 59, 60 to 64 and 65 to 69 years old. Furthermore 40.2% were retired, and 69.5% appear to be married.
For my own part, I manage about an hour of housework per weekday, usually doing some shopping on the way home, washing the dishes and folding up the drying. At the weekends, it’s probably closer to two hours as I help with hanging up the washing and airing the quilts.

As a bonus for today, here’s a second silly survey from goo Ranking, this time looking at what hosework Japanese people find the most bother, for both men and women.
Demographics
Between the 25th and 28th of July 2008 1,072 members of the goo Research online monitor panel completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.3% of the sample were male, 5.7% in their teens, 14.4% in their twenties, 31,0% in their thirties, 28.1% in their forties, 10.5% in their fifties, and 10.4% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
At home I do and enjoy most of the washing of dishes, throwing out the rubbish, hoovering, and garden maintenance, but I hate the most doing the toilet, but luckily my wife takes most care of that. Cleaning the air conditioner is probably the most bother as we have a high ceiling and some of the air conditioner covers are a bit broken!
