Traditionally, women are still predominantly responsible for the household tasks in addition to child caring and care of the elderly. Even in more gender-balanced countries, such as European countries, women still dedicate twice as much time to domestic tasks as men do.
Consequently, women often have to choose between paid work and family, or they have to prioritize one over the other at some stage in their lives. For men, this seems to be less complicated as their participation in household tasks is far less than that of their female partners.
