The chart shows the
houres
 of free
time
 available from
women
 and
men
, in a typical
week
 of the working year 2009/2010. People are: employed for full
time
 or part
time
, unemployed, retired and housewives. As shown in the graph, there aren’t
men
 with a part-
time
 contract and
also
 housewives are only
women
.
Moreover
, there are some similar data for the
houres
 of leisure
time
 that interest both unemployed
men
 and retired ones. In fact, they have around 80
houres
 of leisure
time
 during a
week
.
Furthermore
, famale data in the ranges already mentioned is between 70 and 80
houres
 per
week
. That’s why, obviously, people without a job have more free
time
 available.
Instead
, people with a full
time
 contract have the least amount of free
houres
 in a
week
, those are around 50 for
men
 and less than 40 for
women
. Exactly 40
houres
 per
week
 are available for females employed part
time
. As a conclusion, the presented graphic illustrates that:
men
 always have more leisure
time
 than
women
, and no one has a part
time
 contract. Only woman are housewives, and for the ones who have a job, the most they work, the least they have free
time
.
