Like most of the other countries in this list, Australian women complete about an hour more of housework each day than their male counterparts.

But once you factor in paid work too, Australia gets pretty close to a 50-50 workload for the sexes.

Including time at the office and doing household tasks, Australian men work an average of 56 hours and 12 minutes each week, just 24 minutes less than the average Aussie woman.
