(JB) Do you get fed up with doing all the household chores? Ever wonder how other couples share the tasks? Now couples can find out how well they divide the housework and other responsibilities thanks to a new online survey launched by the Luxembourg ministry for families.

The MEGA Couple questionnaire (in French) is an anonymous test which can be conducted anywhere with an internet connection.

Couples take it in turns to answer a series of questions, looking at how much time they spend at work, doing domestic chores or catching up on personal administration.

The questionnaire is aimed at families and couples in order to help ensure that tasks and responsibilities are equally shared.

Alongside the Mega Couple questionnaire, the ministry has also launched a Mega Manager survey, via the Business area of its website.

Posing questions such as "do you listen to your employee?", "are you open to your employees taking parental leave?" and "does your company offer childcare facilities?" the questionnaire looks to help companies improve their approach to staffing.
