An interesting article in the ever-so-popular 'Evening Standard' today comparing the time budget of British women in the 1950s and today. The time spent on 'housework' has been reduced by half (e.g. shopping, cooking, cleaning). Most of the extra time was taken up my paid employment, but what I found interesting is the time spent 'taking care of children' has not increased as a result. One hooray for female employment! But I think the much more emphasis needs to be put on children, by women AND men. Who spends time with them?
