The two pie charts illustrate the proportions of European adults engaging in different leisure activities in 1985 and 1995.

Overall, watching TV remained the most popular activity in both years, while eating out experienced a significant decline. Notably, playing computer games emerged as a major new leisure activity by 1995.

In 1985, watching TV accounted for the largest share at 32%, followed by eating out (23%) and talking with friends (21%). Talking with family represented 18%, and other activities made up only 6%.

By 1995, watching TV slightly decreased to 30% but still remained the most preferred activity. Talking with friends rose to 26%, overtaking talking with family, which fell sharply to 7%. The most significant change was the introduction of playing computer games, which occupied 27%, nearly matching TV. Meanwhile, eating out saw a dramatic drop to just 8%, and other activities increased slightly to 2%.

In summary, European leisure habits shifted notably toward digital entertainment over the ten-year period.
