The graph illustrates the number of
hours
spent on recreation by males and females during a common week in two different years(1998-1999), based on their gender and work statuses.
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).
However
, it is evident that retired and unemployed
men
were more actively involved in relaxation time compared with women. Shifting to the other groups,
men
who were employed full-time spent about 50
hours
per week resting,
while
this
number for women stood at just under 40
hours
.
Moreover
, no information was demonstrated for
men
who were part-time workers,
as well as
, males who stayed at home doing house chores.
