The given bar graph elucidates amount of time
spent on leisure by men and women in different categories: employed full-time,
working part time, jobless, retired and housewives, per week in 1998-99.
It can be clearly observed that retired and jobless males, over 80 hours, and
females, over 70 hours, spent most time on free time activities, and the least
was devoted by ones working full-time, men 50 hours and women approximately 38
hours.
Similarly, housewives gave leisure activities
almost 60 hours in a week, followed by women engaged in part time jobs: 40
hours.
Quite strikingly, it is noticed that where
information about men and women, spending their time on free time activities,
is shared, men tended to dedicate more than their female counterparts even
though women choosing to remain at home as homemakers expended more time, per
week, than males engaged in full-time work.
In conclusion, the variation in number of
hours spent per week, in case of men, is not as great as in the women.
