Even when both spouses hold jobs outside the home and work similar hours, the wife generally spends more time taking care of the children than the husband does.

a. True

b. False

The answer to the question: Even when both spouses hold jobs outside the home and work similar hours, the wife generally spends more time taking care of the children than the husband does, would be: True.

Explanation:

As of trends from 2015 and forward, statistics show that there has been an increase in working mothers, meaning that compared to homes before the 21st century, today there are more women in the workforce than the household exclusively. However, these statistics also show that for households where both parents work full-time, it is still the woman, with more than 54%, who attends to household chores, including caring for children. This means that even though there has been a development in women not having to simply be housewives and mothers, and not professionals, there is still a huge lag in equal sharing of household chores, and caring of children, between the parents.
