The pie charts compare the proportional distribution of the day working adults doing different activities in a particular country from 1958 to 2008.
Overall, it is evident that the working remained dominant in both charts, although its proportion increased. Meanwhile, going out with family experienced the noticeable change, whereas remaining segments underwent relatively minor fluctuations.
In 1958, working accounted for 33%, making it by far the most significant segment. This was followed by sleeping which comprised 32%, while going out with family represented a modest share at 19%. Meanwhile, relaxing at home and playing sport costituted for 8% and 6% respectively. Collectively these five categories contributed 98% of the total. By contrast, travelling to work accounted for only 2%, indicating that it made a negligible contribution to the overall distribution in that year.
Turning to 2008, working remained predominant at 42%, despite slight increase compared to the earlier figure. Notably, sleeping experienced the most pronounced shift falling from 32% to 25%. Meanwhile, going out with family and relaxing at home declined gradually to 6% and 13%, while playing sport remained stable at 6%. Finally, travelling to work rose slightly to 8%, suggesting that the pattern remained broadly similar despite some redistribution among the categories.
