Housewives would be paid more than the average worker if they received the going rate for their household chores, a survey has suggested.
A poll of 4,000 housewives for networking website alljoinon.com suggested that the average mum worked for nearly nine hours a day every day.
The website said a housewife would earn almost £30,000 a year if she was employed to do all the same errands.
The average annual UK wage is £23,700, according to official figures.
Some 71% of those polled agreed that successfully running the family home was a full-time job.
"The survey clearly demonstrates that not only do housewives deserve a wage for their efforts, they also need a break from the daily grind," said Carolyn Morris, spokeswoman for alljoinon.com.
The chores are yours
An average mum would spend 273 minutes every day looking after the children, according to the poll. Based on an hourly rate of £8, a nanny would earn £36.80 a day for the same jobs.
Cleaning and tidying for 71 minutes would net a cleaner £7.10 a day. For more than an hour of cooking a head chef would get £17.30.
Fourteen minutes making the beds is worth £1.29 for a chambermaid, and a kitchen assistant would be paid £2.57 for a housewife's typical 28 minutes of washing up.
The poll said the average mum trawled the family finances for 39 minutes, which would cost £12.50 if an accountant did it.
A taxi driver would earn £2.53 for the 23 minutes of ferrying children around, and a mystery shopper £2.10 for the 18 minutes a day of grocery shopping. to read on about "Single women 'do less'" go... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7252504.stm
