Who does the housework? Who takes care of children and elderly people?
For many couples, it’s probably the women, but one country wants to change that. That country is Spain. Forty percent of Spanish men say that they don’t do any housework. Their wives, however, spend six hours a day on housework. Recently, the Spanish Parliament passed a new law. Now husbands have to share chores in the home.
In a café in Madrid, we asked people about the law:
Conchita Rodriguez: “Most women work outside the home. So, in my opinion, they shouldn’t do all the housework, too, but they usually do. That isn’t fair.”
Juan Salgado: “Yes, the law is a good idea, but I think a lot of men already help around the house. I sometimes cook, I load the dishwasher, and I take the children to school, so it won’t change anything for my wife and me.”
Laura Pino: “I have a job, but I prefer to do the housework, too. I don’t want my husband in the kitchen. He repairs the car and takes out the trash. I cook and clean. It’s simple.”
Pablo Calvache is getting married soon: “Housework is easy for women, ”he says. “They learn how to cook and iron when they’re young, but we don’t. I don’t know how to do those things. I can’t even use the washing machine!”

9. I promise to love, honor, and do the dishes!
Margarita Uria is a member of the Spanish Parliament. She wrote the new law. She agrees: “Men don’t help around the house,” she says.
“But it isn’t all their fault. We women should teach them when they’re children.”
Will the law work? Laura Pino doesn’t think so: “If the man doesn’t help, what will his wife do-take him to the police station?”
But Conchita Rodriguez is more positive: “It will probably happen slowly, but as more women work outside the home, things have to change.”
