As women spend more time working outside the home, there have been big changes in how both men and women spend their time on child care, housework, and other activities. The amount of time mothers spend weekly on housework shrunk nearly in half between 1965 and 2005, from an average of 32 hours to an average of 19.6 hours, while the amount of time spent by men doubled from an average of 4.4 hours to 9.8 hours (figure 6.3). Fast food restaurants grew in number by 25 percent in the United States between 1998 and 2007 and by 36 percent in Canada between 1990 and 2007, reducing domestic time pressures on homemakers.13
