Research reveals the damage to mental health from an invisible dimension of household chores
Briefly

Our research indicates mothers bear 73% of cognitive household labor and 64% of physical tasks, impacting mental health with higher levels of depression, stress, and burnout.
Gender disparities are clear, with mothers not only performing more physical household chores but also carrying a significantly greater share of cognitive labor compared with their partners.
The division of labor within households, especially in terms of cognitive tasks, has a substantial impact on mental health, with women reporting higher levels of depression, stress, relationship dissatisfaction, and burnout.
