In Europe, women with full-time jobs still have to take on most of the housework, a new study has found.

The Economic and Social Research Council released new data drawn from 250,000 interviews in 30 countries over the past ten years on July 22, the New York Daily News reported.

Women reported that they often feel that their work is never done, with those working full-time still taking on two-thirds of the housework within heterosexual couples.

The research also shows that while men get to relax more than their partners, they suffer the brunt of conflict within the relationship.
