The two pie charts illustrate the distribution of leisure activities among adults in a particular country in 2010 and 2020.
In 2010, watching TV accounted for the largest proportion of leisure time at 35%, followed closely by social media, also at 35%. Reading comprised 20% of leisure activities, while exercise and outdoor hobbies each represented 15% and 10% respectively. The remaining 5% was dedicated to other activities.
By 2020, there were notable shifts in leisure habits. While exercise remained constant at 15% and social media continued to be a significant activity at 35%, the popularity of watching TV decreased by 10 percentage points to 25%. Similarly, reading saw a decline from 20% to 10%. Conversely, “other” activities doubled, increasing from 5% to 10%, and outdoor hobbies experienced a decrease from 10% to 5%.
Overall, the data suggests a trend away from traditional leisure activities like watching TV and reading, with a slight re-prioritization of “other” activities, while social media maintained its dominance and exercise remained a consistent part of adults’ leisure time.
