The chart below show the percentage of the day working adults spent doing different activities in a particular country in 1958 and in 2008.

The chart illustrates the proportion of

day

grown-ups in a certain nation engaged in different activities in the years 1958 and 2008.

Overall

,

it is clear that

adults spend the majority of their time working.

This

was followed by the time spent sleeping.

To begin

with, the percentage of the

day

people spent at work was the highest in 1958. It

however

increased from a third to a little over two-fifths in 2008. Over the same period, the portion of the

day

the working class allocated to travelling to work and relaxing at home

also

increased.

While

they spent 8 per cent of the

day

moving from home to work in 2008,

this

figure stood at 2 per cent in 1958.

Also

, slightly less than a tenth of the

day

was used for relaxing in 1958, increasing to 13 per cent in the year 2008.

On the other hand

, the percentage of the

day

used in sleeping and hanging out with friends reduced over the fifty-year period. Adults utilized just below a third of the

day

to sleep in 1958.

This

fraction was reduced to a quarter in 2008. A similar trend could be seen in the fraction of the

day

working individuals hang out with family and friends. It reduced from just below a fifth to 6% in 2008. Interest in hobbies and playing sports did not change over the five decades, remaining at 6%.
