The chart below shows the amount of leisure time enjoyed by men and women of different employment status. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The chart depicts the distribution of free
time
based on gender and employment status in the years between 1998 and 1999. It can be seen that for all categories the
hours
of
leisure
time
do not exceed 85
hours
and the minimum is 40
hours
. The largest amount of
time
that is
spent on
leisure
time
belongs to males who are unemployed or retired (above 80
hours
). Females who have the same situation, spend less
time
(about 78
hours
) on
leisure
time
. Apart from retired and unemployed people, those who are employed full-
time
have the least amount of
time
to spend in their free
time
. 50 and 38
hours
for employed men and women respectively. The plot does not provide any information about part-
time
employed men and those men who are doing house chores.
However
, for women who are employed part-
time
, the amount of
time
spent in
leisure
time
is roughly the same as for full-
time
employees (a bit higher).
