The bar charts compare distinct New Zealand’s age groups by the quantity of time spent on daily reading and listening, measured in minutes.
Overall, there is a growth in reading preference according to the aging period, while listening to music is most favoured by silver and young people, and least preferred by the middle age. Another notable point is that young people are more interested in reading than listening to music, whereas silver people show an equal amount of time spending in both activities.
Regarding the category that experiences a proportional trend between age and preference, reading is least popular among young people, with their spending time being a mere 20 minutes daily. In addition, that time increases for each age group, with 35 and 45 minutes for 25-34 and 35-44 years-old, followed by the 45-54 age group with a significant reading time of 50 minutes. Moreover, silver people are the people reading most, equivalent to over an hour a day.
Concerning the remaining cohort, listening to music is a prevalent choice to relax among young people spending 80 minutes per day for reading, which is five minutes more than that of silver people. A notable point is that 25-34 and 44-54 years-old demonstrate a similar amount of time used for listening to music, with roughly an hour a day. Ultimately, the 35-44 age group is least preferred in listening to music, corresponding to 45 minutes a day.
