The bar chart compares the average number of leisure hours per week enjoyed by men and women across five different employment categories in the period between 1998 and 1999.
Overall, it is clear that unemployed and retired individuals had the highest amount of free time. Furthermore, in all categories where data was available for both sexes, men enjoyed more leisure time than women, regardless of their employment status.
Both unemployed and retired men spent the most time on leisure, totaling approximately 85 hours per week. Their female counterparts followed closely, though they had about 10 hours less free time, at roughly 75 hours.
Those working full-time had the least amount of free time. Men in full-time jobs had about 45 hours of leisure, whereas women in the same category had the lowest overall figure at around 38 hours.
There is no data provided for men in the “part-time” or “housewife” categories. However, women in these groups enjoyed significantly more leisure than those working full-time, with part-time workers having 40 hours and housewives having 50 hours of free time per week.
