In a recent study, researchers from the United States and China found that heterosexual married couples face very different challenges when trying to balance work and home life. Housework and family time are at the heart of these differences. Examples of tasks that can be completed while working from home include washing or vacuuming, as well as dedication to responsibilities like giving children naps or snacks.

The survey of 223 Chinese and South Korean dual-earner couples, as well as households with and without children, served as the foundation for the study's findings.

According to Ohio State University professor of management Jasmine Hu, "we found that men and women don't have the same experience working from home."

According to the statistics, working from home alone gave everyone the impression that they accomplished more around the house. Men typically performed fewer household tasks when two-income couples were at home together. Having their husband home during work hours did not at all alleviate domestic responsibilities for women.
