Task answer
The line graphs illustrate making changes to possession of three electrical appliances, including washing machine, refrigerator, and vacuum cleaner, and the figure for time allocated doing household chores in one country from 1920 to 2019.
Overall, the figure for households using electrical appliances increased, while the number of hours each week dreased. The lowest percentage in the usage of an electrical device stood for refrigerator and hours per week per family was in the year of 2019.
The total households using refrigerators in 1920 were a little less than 1 percent. This figure witnessed a rise dramatically to its peak of 100 percent in 1980 before it plateaued until 2019. From 1920 to 1960, the usage of washing machines saw a rise of 30 percent and hovered around that level until 2010. The percentage of people opting for vacuum cleaners experienced a sharp escalation between 1920 and 2000, a trend that, after 2000, continued till the next 19 years.
The culmination of hosework per week was at 50 hours in 1920. From this time until the end, 2109, there was a decrease to just over 10 hours.
