The chart shows the duration of leisure enjoyed by men and women in a typical week in
1998-99, according to their gender and employment status.
Generally speaking, male enjoyed more leisure time than women, and employed people had
less free time for pastime activities than retired and unemployed people.
Among the full-time employed people, men had about 45 hours of leisure time on an average
per week compared to 38 hours for women. No data is given for the part-time employed men.
Women from this category enjoyed 40 hours of leisure time in a week. This figure is slightly
more than the employed women, perhaps because of their employment nature.
Unemployed and retired people had the longest period of leisure activity both for men and
women, and men had slightly more hours to spare than women. As expected, the retired and
unemployed people enjoyed about 78 to 82 hours per week which is longer than people from
other employment status. Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately 50 hours of pastime
which was more than the employed women but less than the unemployed and retired women.
