As time goes by

According to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics report How Australians spend their time, women over 65 do an average of three and a half hours of domestic duties daily, compared to just two hours and forty-seven minutes for men.

Men aged 65 and over sleep an extra 12 minutes each day compared to women.

Senior men and women have about double the leisure time each day compared to parents working full-time with children under 15 (about six hours versus three hours).
