Band 5+: below is a chart showing how many hours per week an average person spent on various kinds of media, including watching television, surfing on the Internet, listening to the radio, and reading printed material. The years covered are from 1990 to 2005.

The bar chart illustrates the working days missed because of job injuries per employee in four different European countries from 1991 to 2005 divided into three time periods. Overall, the figures for China were dominant compared to the other countries, the opposite is true for Germany. In addition, the number of days lost in America, China, Brazil and Korea increased, whereas Germany saw a decrease over the period of time.

Looking at the categories which increased in both three time periods, in 1991, the number of non-working days in China started at 6 days per worker, while the numbers were around 3 days in America and Korea. From 1996 to 2000, they rose to 8.5, 3.5, and 3.5 days, respectively. Over the next five years, the working days missed because of job injuries in China rose to the peak of about 10 days, while both figures for days lost in America and Korea grew to 5.

Turning to the decreasing category, in 1991, the number of no-working days in Germany was 3 days, then it decreased to 2.5 in the next five years, before dropping to the lowest point at 2 days from 2001 to 2005. Regarding the other category, the figures for days lost in Brazil started at 7 days, then it fell to 6 days before bouncing back to 7.5 days in the last five years mentioned.
