The two pie charts compare the proportion of daily hours allocated by working adults to various activities in a certain region in two years: 1958 and 2008.
Overall, it is evident that in both periods, people spent the majority of the day working and sleeping, with relatively small percentage of time for both travelling to work and other tasks.
In 1958, the percentage of the day spent working, which was 33%, was almost the same as the percentage spent sleeping (32%). A small amount of time was allocated to traveling to work (2%), while 8% of the day was spent relaxing at home. The percentage of the day spent going out with friends or family was nearly three times as much as that spent on other activities, including playing sports, at 19% and 6%, respectively.
According to another graph, 42 % of the day was spent working, highlighting a significant portion of the day similar to 1958, while sleeping hours decreased by 2008, accounting for 25%. In 2008, the proportion of daily hours allocated to traveling to work increased by nearly four times, at 8%, whereas the percentage of time spent on relaxing at home rose by 5%, reaching 13%. Despite the huge expenditure of time in 1958, by 2008, it had reduced to 6%, which was nearly three times less than it had been 50 years ago. The proportion of hours allocated to other activities, however, showed no change.
