New Delhi, Feb. 26 -- Indian women continue to dedicate far more time on unpaid work such as domestic chores and caregiving as compared with men, show the latest Time Use Survey (TUS) data published by the statistics ministry.

While women dedicate nearly a fifth of their time (19.8%) to unpaid housework, men spend only 3% of the time in a day on similar activities.

Instead, men spend a fifth of their time (20.3%) on socializing and leisure and an almost similar amount of time (19.9%) on employment and related activities.

The survey, which sheds light on how Indians spend their day, was released on Tuesday. India conducted its first TUS in 2019.
