Laundry Outsourcing

Believe it or not, in 3 out of the past 4 cities I have lived in there have been economical local laundramats that will in some cases even pick up and deliver your washing for you, clean, fluffed and folded.. honestly for 5-10 extra on top of the price of the washing why would you do it yourself???

Housekeeping can be outsourced. It is very common in India and the wages depend on the area of the house etc. Housekeeping includes drying of clothes, washing utensils, cleaning the house.

Australia

Due to a high minimum wage rate in Australia, outsourcing such tasks requires a decent amount of cash. Which I guess is better then it is bad

agreed

It is better, as in countries where it is that cheap there is also a high amount of abuse and inhumane working conditions for such workers.

Other = Sleeping

all the above and sleep

All the above would have been my choice.  Sleeping is a good one also...
