Husbands should pay their wives a salary each month for doing housework, according to Zhang Xiaomei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
A Huaxi Metropolis Daily report quoted Zhang, as saying: "People take it for granted that taking care of kids and doing housework are the responsibilities of women."

Women living in urban areas spend on average 21 hours a week on housework, while men spend only seven to eight hours, Zhang said, citing an earlier survey of Chinese women's status.
A web survey on sina.com.cn, which drew 9,300 participants as of 1:00 pm on Wednesday, showed that 50.4 percent were in favor of Zhang's idea and 44.6 percent were not.
