The two pie charts above compare and contrast the data about various activities performed by adults in their working days, as surveyed in two different periods – 1958 and 2008, measured in percentages.
Generally speaking, the time frames monitored show that this specific nation spends most of its time working.
To begin with, when the pie chart from 1958 is considered, it can be clearly seen that this country spent one-third of the day working (33%), while only 2% was spent commuting to work. Also, sleeping stood out as the second most popular activity, accounting for 32% and it is four times higher than the 8% for relaxing at home. Moreover, nearly one-fifth of the percentage was for going out, exceeding the percentage for other activities by more than threefold.
On the contrary, looking at the second chart, it is evident that working is still the dominant activity compared to others, 42%, which was seven times greater than that of the smallest portion (going out with friends and family and pursuing hobbies or sports at 6%).Moreover, the time spent sleeping experienced a significant decline of 7%, resulting in 25%, approximately twice that of relaxing at home (13%).
