Overall

, it can be seen from the bar chart that

men

had more free time than women.

Also

, unemployed and retired people had significantly more leisure period rather than other categories. Looking at the details, we can find out that people who did not work, meaning they were retired or unemployed, had much more leisure time than the other groups(more than 70

hours

per week).

hours

per week resting,

while

this

number for women stood at just under 40

hours

.
