Survey shows that Korean men are the least likely to help out at home


Article: Korean men rank at the bottom for domestic work out of OECD '45 minutes a day'

Source: Asia Econ via Nate [English article]

1. [+650, -360] Korean men rank #1 out of the OECD for work hours... Ha, sad reality ㅠㅠ

2. [+621, -348] Korean men go to work at 6 and get off work at 10. Even if we want to help with house work, there's no time. Do they expect us to vacuum the house when our families are sleeping? Wake them up for dinner I cooked at 10 pm? Doesn't make sense...

3. [+485, -255] This article needs extra data, like the average work hours. In Korea, there's still the mindset that the male is the head of the household. The results would not be like this if Korea was like other advanced countries where men had more free time and more females were in the work force.

4. [+43, -4] Instead of taking sides and fighting, we should think about why this is happening. Men work all day while women who work suffer from lesser pay and mistreatment. This is not a problem of whether men or women are right but our society as a whole.

5. [+27, -6] Nah, households where both the man and woman work still have unbalanced domestic chores.
