Some employers offer their employees subsidized membership of gym and other sport clubs, believing that this will make their staff healthier and thus more effective at work.

The two pie charts draw the conclusion from a survey of

boys

' and

girls

' cultural and leisure

activities

. Overall,

boys

preferred sports

such

as Basketball, Soccer and Skateboarding as well as video games, while most

girls

loved dancing and reading. It is

also

evident that both genders enjoyed listening to music. Looking at the details in the

first

pie chart, computer games account for over a

third

of total

activities

, being the most favoured among

boys

. Basketball and Soccer are ranked

second

and

third

with 26% and 17% respectively. For

boys

, reading was the least favoured activity among the others that made up only 2% of the chart.

, for

girls

, reading was ten times the figure of

boys

, ranking

second

after dancing which was nearly a quarter of the whole

activities

. Female children

also

participated in netball and video games at a rate of about 15% each. Unlike

boys

, Gymnastics was one of the free-time

activities

for

girls

, with 11%.
